Jdsoft Artform 3.5 ((new)) [REAL Tricks]
Jdsoft Artform 3.5: The Ultimate Guide to the Jewelry Design Revolution
2.3. 2.5D & 3D Toolpath Generation
- 2D Toolpaths: Profile (inside/outside), pocket, drilling, engraving.
- 3D Toolpaths: Raster, offset, and spiral machining for reliefs.
- Advanced Strategies: Z-level roughing, parallel finishing, pencil tracing for corners.
- Tool Library: Supports end mills, ball nose, v-bits, and custom tools.
- Simulation: Realistic material removal preview with collision detection.
A. Profile-Based Modeling
Unlike generic CAD (like SolidWorks or Fusion 360), Artform 3.5 uses jewelry-specific profiles. You can draw a profile curve for a ring band, and the software automatically generates a tapered, ergonomic interior (comfort fit). You can also create half-round, flat, or D-shaped bands in seconds.
