Introduction of famous CAD and cam engraving software at home and abroad

目前国内常用的CNC雕刻软件平面雕刻（阴雕、阳雕）的话基本就用文泰和Type3，3D雕刻的话基本用北京精雕和ArtCAM（2018年7月7日AutoDesk公司宣布停止此产品的更新）。下面就个人意见分分享下个人使用感受！这里值得一提的是，有个慨念要分清楚，三维雕刻和浮雕是两码事：用个3D锥刀走一圈平面而形成的几个斜坡不能算是三维雕刻的，顶多叫2.5D，而真正的3D雕刻基本是圆形或者其他形状的全方位雕刻。

1, Wentai

Domestic software, a lot of domestic billboard carving basic use of this software, generally suitable for the engraving of the text class, 3D carving public function is relatively weak, although the latest version of 3D carving has strengthened but currently can not and professional 3D CAD/CAM software comparison!

2, Type3

Type3 is a French three-dimensional relief software, its relief effect is amazing. It can quickly and efficiently convert a simple two-dimensional graphic or photo into an extraordinary relief. From an aesthetic standpoint, the Typeart is an exciting software module that can be easily defined for the most complex forms, resulting in a emboss-like carving effect. Also, the emboss can be projected or enveloped on a variety of complex surfaces--the surface can be entered either by another CAD file or with a three-coordinate digitizing scanner, or directly with Typeedit and Typeart. The Typeart module provides vector and bitmap editing, photo retouching, mapping and coloring tools. And the rapid production of concave-convex mold and optimized processing and other professional functions.

3. Beijing Fine Carving

Beijing Jing Carved, if not with carved carving machine, I think not many people will use carved to do the diagram. In China, carved carving machine is really good, but the software, the road is too narrow, targeted too strong.

4, ArtCAM

ArtCAM, I only use it to generate the path, the function of the plot is small, but the compatibility is very good, generally with SolidWorks, pro do 3D modeling, the file is done after export. Then import into the Artcam, in the Artcam inside the selection of knives, the creation of carving path file, if the use of engraving machine to generate PLT, if you want to use numerical control of the machine for different equipment to generate the required path. Finally in the device software programming and modification, is a variety of, can use engraving machine, can also use machining center and CNC Milling.

Summarize
A simple word, wentai, carved and Type3 are mainly for embossed engraving machine, and Artcam can be aimed at many processing equipment, not just engraving machine, living space more widely. Unfortunately, the official has stopped updating this software, and the most likely alternative to this product is the cloud-based Fusion360. But we also do not have to be depressed, here again introduce a foreign function and artcam comparable software, software called Vertric, foreign people are also a lot of, you may wish to download the following website trial feel, perhaps you will feel better than Artcam!
