VisualART is a separately priced module within VisualCAD/CAM used to convert artwork into geometry suitable for machining. This plug-in introduces exciting new modeling techniques for modeling artistic shapes using raster bitmap images. Used in conjunction with VisualCAM’s 3D modeling tools, it offers a complementary set of modeling techniques for jewelry design, sign making, and model making.

Features

• Create 3D Relief from Bitmap Images: Generate 3D reliefs from bitmap image files, allowing for detailed and intricate designs.
• Color and Curve Limitations: Limit the creation of reliefs using specific colors and/or curves for precise control over the design.
• Puffed Up 3D Volumes: Create puffed up 3D volumes using closed curves, adding depth and dimension to your designs.
• 3D Sweep Volumes: Generate 3D sweep volumes using various profiles, enabling complex and custom shapes.
• Boolean Operations: Combine 3D volumes using various Boolean operations during creation for versatile modeling.
• Mesh Geometry Export: Export created 3D volumes as mesh geometry to CAD systems for further processing.
• Raster to Vector Operations: Convert 2D curve geometry from image files using raster to vector operations for precise and editable designs.
• Associative Operations: All operations are associative to the CAD geometry used in creation, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
• Shape Library Functionality: Save and reuse previously created 3D volumes using the shape library functionality for efficient workflow.

Benefits

• Enhanced Creativity: Unlock new creative possibilities with advanced modeling techniques for artistic shapes.
• Improved Accuracy: Ensure precise and consistent designs with associative operations and raster to vector conversions.
• Versatile Capabilities: Handle a wide range of artistic modeling tasks, from jewelry design to sign making and model making.
• Efficient Workflow: Save time and effort with the shape library functionality, allowing for easy reuse of previously created designs.
