I am new to ArtCAM and have been working on creating 3D models. I have encountered an issue with the resolution of my models and would appreciate your guidance on how to improve it.
Case:
I created a 3D model of a 25mm diameter circle with a 45-degree rounded edge using the Shape Editor tool. However, the resolution of the model is not smooth; even after setting the maximum resolution (4498 x 3556 points), the model still appears pixelated and lacks smoothness.
I would like to understand what steps I can take to enhance the resolution of my 3D models in ArtCAM.
Additionally, I am curious whether the output from CNC machining will differ between low and high-resolution models when using similar toolpaths. Will the visible differences observed in the laptop version reflect in the final physical output?
Any advice or tips on improving the resolution and achieving smoother 3D models would be greatly appreciated.
I’m not familiar with ArtCAM, but what you are describing sounds like path segmentation. The curved lines need to be broken down into short straight segments for rendering. With more segments, the shape will look ‘smoother’.
This is normally a setting in the software. You may have more success asking this question in a artCam users specific forum; I’m not sure many people here use it.
