Generating a toolpath, especially for concave cavities, can be tricky. Here is a checklist to ensure success:
After simulation, click "Save Toolpaths" to export the file. You will need to choose the appropriate machine configuration (post-processor) for your specific CNC router (e.g., Mach3, Fanuc). Key Tips for Beginners
Choose to machine the "Whole Relief" or a selected vector boundary.
Move the calculated toolpaths from the left box to the right box to export them.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of Artcam Pro 9.1:
: Select a vector and press N to enter Node Editing mode. This allows you to drag individual points or right-click spans to convert straight lines into arcs.
If your toolpaths refuse to calculate or throw errors, highlight your lines and click Vector Doctor . This automated utility highlights overlapping points, unclosed loops, and self-intersections that break CNC programming logic.
Select this to cut your 3D model.
For manual touch-ups, use the tools. This allows you to "smudge," "deposit," or "carve" the digital clay just like a real sculptor. 5. Toolpath Strategy: Preparing to Cut
Before cutting expensive material, never skip simulation.
Contains your vector drawing, bitmap editing, and 3D relief sculpting tools.
