The Process
Mastercam lets you go from "art to part" with a single software package. A simple process takes you from your flat art to a beautifully sculpted piece that comes off the machine with exactly the look you want.
Import Art
Bring in clip art, a CAD file, or a scanned sketch or photograph. Mastercam Art converts the artwork into flat, machinable geometry, giving you a basic palette from which to craft your finished model.
If you need ideas to start your project, Mastercam's Classic Art Library gives you 5,000 artistic elements to easily place in your model.
Build a 3D Model
Quickly create a full 3D sculpture from your 2D artwork by picking elements of your flat art. Mastercam "puffs up" the art using a cross-section you control. You can add or remove one section from another, and easily modify the model by eye to make sure it's exactly what you want.
Create a Toolpath
Pick one of Mastercam Art's specialized toolpaths to cut your project. These fast, reliable cut strategies are easily modified, letting you quickly try out a variety of cut techniques for the perfect result.
Machine It On-Screen
Using Mastercam's solid-model verification, you can see an on-screen simulation of your cut part before you put stock on the machine.
Output Code To Your Machine
Quickly create G code for your machine using Mastercam's extensive post processor library.
