The new release also sees all the specific jewellery tools and wizards consolidated into the core of the product for the first time. Previously, many of these options existed as distinct programs and macros linked to the main software. The consolidation has allowed many of these functions to be re-written so that they now operate more quickly and more reliably.
The rendering within the software has been improved to enable higher-quality images to be generated for potential customers and retailers. The speed with which ArtCAM JewelSmith can prepare design proposals for client approval has always been a major benefit of the system.
For users that are new to machining, the new ArtCAM JewelSmith incorporates a step-by-step wizard that automates all the steps required to produce a finished piece with simple raster roughing and finishing toolpaths. It can be used for models created within the software, designs imported from other sources, or any of the 3D clipart library supplied with the software.
Users had also requested improved interoperability with other CAD systems to make it easier to accept models from clients using different software or to retrieve designs created with earlier programs. ArtCAM JewelSmith 2008 can now import models in a huge range of other formats, including Rhino, Alias Wavefront and SolidWorks, as well as the major generic file types such as IGES & STL.
