ArtCAM was originally developed by Delcam and later acquired by Autodesk. It is a unique CAD/CAM software designed for artisans rather than traditional engineers. It excels at transforming 2D sketches, bitmaps, and digital photographs into highly detailed 3D relief carvings and toolpaths for CNC routers, laser cutters, and engraving machines.
