Art2Part / ArtCAM

Before I take the plunge, anyone have any experience with the
Art2Part system or using ArtCAM?

Hello Rick,

Before you take the plunge and buy look at

your money. Remember the learning curve!!

I’d be interested in on this also, Is it worth the
expense? How easy/hard is it? Is there a way to try before you
buy? It’s so expensive I hate to put that much cash into
something that will take to much time to earn back it’s
cost…Char

I have an art2part cad/cam system. Really great system. It’s
not rocket science, but sometimes I wonder. The learning curve
for the cad/cam software just to get something recognizable isn’t
too long - the finer points take a bit longer. Lots of stuff to
learn and remember. The Artcam software is pretty slick with
plenty of special methods of creating a 3D relief. Been learning
mine for 6 months and am still figuring things out. If you enjoy
sitting at the computer for hours, you will have a great time
with this system.

You will need plenty of spare time to practice, screw up and
start all over again. You also need a working knowledge of a
powerful graphics program such as a recent version of Corel. The
system is expensive, but in time you can find plenty of uses for
it. I have been doing custom design slides for slide bracelets,
custom wedding bands, logos, and some heraldic work. I do my own
designs, work for other stores and designs for my retail
customers. Be happy to talk off-orchid.

Hello Rick. The plunge is deep. May suggest that you do a lot of
research on this be for you drop any money. I hold my hat out to
you. Iv just got started with it and I wish that Id done more
research on it. It is new and we as jewelers ( shall I say
artistes) must consider all tools put be for us. Good luck. If I
can be of help E-mail is @merritt. True

Try Jewelcad for free. Just give me your address and I’ll send

Drive.
