The Mastercam Art Process

Fish-themed artistic designs in four steps: 1) colorful fish sketches, 2) circular fish stamps, 3) textured materials with fish patterns, 4) finished gold coin featuring fish design.

STEP 1

Import Source File.

Mastercam Art converts clip art, CAD files, scanned sketches, or photos to flat, machinable geometry, giving you a basic palette from which to craft your finished model.

STEP 3

Create A Toolpath and Machine It On Screen.

Fast, reliable, toolpaths are easily modified, letting you quickly sample a variety of cutting techniques for the perfect result. Watch as your part is cut with Mastercam’s toolpath verification. Inspect the piece for surface finish and make sure it is exactly what you want, before it ever goes on the machine.
