In 1974 the Delta Group seconded Ed Lambourne (now Technical Director at Delcam) to the Cambridge Team. Early sponsorship was provided by Ford and Control Data in Germany, whose customers included Volkswagen and Daimler-Benz. He persuaded the Science Research Council to support research at the Cambridge University Engineering Department. Saw the possibility of using computers to help pattern makers solve the problems of modelling difficult 3D shapes. Vector Relief Functions : Using ArtCAMS’s powerful Vector relief tools you can create complex 3D shapes, including Celtic weaves, swept profiles and planar facets.Headquarters of Delcam Ltd.To add extra visual appeal to your 3D model, you can apply textures and modify your 3D designs interactively using ArtCAM Pro’s sculpting tools, blending regions to give a “hand-crafted” look and feel.3D Toolpaths: With ArtCAM’s 3D toolpaths you can create Z level roughing and finishing toolpaths strategies, with options for precision engraving and laser machining.ArtCAM Pro also allows you to machine beveled of V-Bit incised shapes from vector for a realistic hand carved effect. 2D Toolpaths: ArtCAM Pro’s 2D machining strategies include area clearance, pocketing, profile cutouts, inlays, inserts and 3D engraving.

Advance modeling operations include the ability to create wave patterns, complex swept extrusions and 3D lettering.
