CAD/CAM in schoolsDfES / DATA Initiative
Aim:
to modernise the design and technology
curriculum through CAD/CAM
Pro/DESKTOP (September 1999)
3D solid modelling
ArtCAM (December 1999)
3D art & design modelling
Speedstep (February 2002)

artcam pro for education
ArtCAM Pro 7 for Education supersedes Artcam 4 and is now
available to teachers within the CAD/CAM in schools initiative.
the software :
allows the user to create high-quality 2D and 3D products from 2D artwork
including sketches, drawings or photographic images
provides a unique CAD modelling solution enabling creative designers to
benefit from modern design and manufacturing technology
is an industrial package, used worldwide, across a wide range of
industries

artcam : working with vectors ArtCAM Pro incorporates powerful vector
drawing and editing tools within the program
Vectors (eps / dxf / wmf) can also be imported
from other 2D CAD software; (e.g. Techsoft 2D
Design Tools or Corel Draw)
artcam : working with bitmaps
ArtCAM Pro incorporates powerful bitmap paint tools within
the program. It is also very simple to create 3D reliefs based
on photographic images, which can then be added to products
artcam : wizard basedspin
vector profiles can be
spun through a number
of degrees
two rail sweep
vector profiles can be
swept along vector
paths
turn
vector profiles can be
turned through a number
of degrees
ArtCAM Pro
incorporates a
number of wizards,
which make the
production 3D
forms very simpleextrude
vector profiles can be
extruded around a
vector path
artcam : two rail sweep / merge high
ArtCAM Pro allows complex organic forms to be created
by, for example combining the two rail sweep and merge
high features
artcam : stl import
ArtCAM Pro allows 3D solid models created in
software such as Pro/DESKTOP to be imported
and textures applied

artcam pro : exemplar project work
artcam : export as stereolithography file
artcam : soap moulding
shower soapThe organisers of charity are
looking for new bathroom
products to be included in their
Spring catalogue. The pupil task
is to develop a design for a 3D
mould that could be used
repeatedly to produce a small
batch of soap products for this
range.
artcam : thermometers
keeping tabs on the temperature There are lots of times when its useful to know
the temperature. As part of a new product range,
a major High St Chemist is planning to introduce
a range of speciality temperature indicators.
artcam : medal concepts
going for gold
design a range of medals for your
chosen sport – Olympics 2012?
artcam : beach sandal

prototype for a beach sandal
artcam : pocci project

An Objective 1 funded
CAD/CAM project
designed to introduce
pupils from ethnic minority
backgrounds to careers in
high tech manufacturing
Artcam was used as the
main software in the
production of moulded
soap and food products
A Showcase event was
arranged to conclude the
project

Keeping tabs on the temperature!There are lots of times when its useful to know
the temperature. As part of a new product
range, a major High St Chemist is planning to
introduce a range of speciality temperature
indicators.
Brief :You are to use ArtCAM Pro to develop an
attractive and functional prototype to be
included in the proposed range. The prototype
must incorporate the given Liquid Crystal
‘temperature label’ as the means of displaying
the temperature.
