Move the calculated toolpaths from the left column to the right column to export them.

Set the to Raster for the most efficient step-over pattern. Click Calculate Now . 6. Step 5: Simulation and Exporting G-Code

To begin any project in ArtCAM Pro 9.1, you must first define your workspace dimensions and origin. Create New Model

Generating a toolpath, especially for concave cavities, can be tricky. Here is a checklist to ensure success:

Click and transfer the file to your CNC machine software.

If you already have a design, go to to load DXF, EPS, or AI files. Converting Bitmaps to Vectors (Tracing Images)

Adjust the start height (base thickness) and profile angle to control the steepness of the 3D relief. Choose a Combine Mode: Add: Stack the new 3D shape on top of existing reliefs.

Click the T icon, select a font, type your text, and click Done . Text acts as a vector automatically. Editing Vectors

With a 3D model complete, you must translate it into a language your CNC machine understands: toolpaths.
