ArtCAM operates by bridging the gap between 2D art and 3D physical objects. It uses three primary data types:

: Cutting along a vector to cut out a part or add a border.

Once the design is complete, you must define how the CNC machine will cut the material:

: The 3D model created by giving height to vectors or bitmaps, which is then machined. 2. Essential Design & Modeling Steps

: Use the Shape Editor to turn 2D vectors into 3D shapes. You can add, subtract, or merge reliefs to create complex designs.

: Used to remove large amounts of material around a design quickly.
