I tried ArtCAM 2016 and was unable to open old projects. Thanks in advance for your time and cooperation. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

You can compare the different products in the Autodesk ArtCAM 2017 product range here. Therefore, Autodesk ArtCAM Premium 2017 can be used for the design and manufacture of jewellery in exactly the same way as ArtCAM JewelSmith 2015 R2. That said, Luxion KeyShot can still be used alongside Autodesk ArtCAM Premium 2017 using the method described here. Is there a new release of Jewelsmith?Īs previously mentioned here, ArtCAM JewelSmith is not part of the Autodesk ArtCAM 2017 product range, and has been discontinued this is confirmed here in the Autodesk Knowledge Network.Īll of the functionality associated with ArtCAM JewelSmith 2015 R2 is included in Autodesk ArtCAM Premium 2017, with the exception of KeyShot and POV-Ray support Luxion KeyShot is not bundled with the free version of Autodesk ArtCAM 2017, Autodesk ArtCAM Standard 2017 or Autodesk ArtCAM Premium 2017. (Too busy working to play around on the internet) Now that I have returned, I find that all things have changed. I have been off of the forum for quite some time now. I use the solus over 95% of the time though.Hi to the Autodesk Community and the new ArtCAM Forum! Thank you for joining us from the original ArtCAM Forum wrote: Full disclosure, I've only had my solus for 4 months so maybe my knowledge of supports will grow and my opinion will change. It's not that it can't be done, it just seems quicker to mill the ring from a tube. In order to print it successfully you have to spend a lot of time placing your supports in the perfect place, also a lot of clean up time when the ring is cast to remove the places where supports had to be. I make these particular wedding bands that have relief all the way around the outside that also has cutouts as well. May i know why not for everything can you explain? It's great for most things but not everything. It took me a while to realize that this is just another tool. Gotta think of the long game.Īfter 2 months of owning a solus, I have started to use my mill again, mostly for rotary rings that I cut from tube.

I really love it, but am working on learning rhino. I'm on 2015 r2, there is nothing that I can't do with it (especially when coupled with 3D coat).

The forum sucks, the cost is ridiculous, they dropped keyshot. Krist hochburger wrote:Yeah, I could not be more disappointed with the transition to autodesk.
