A standout feature for shop floor users. You could set your spindle speeds, feed rates, and tool geometry (V-bit to Ball-nose) and save them as presets. Version 9.1 was praised for its accurate tool collision detection, preventing expensive broken bits.
The "magic wand" of ArtCAM is the tool. Users can import a grayscale image (black is low, white is high) and click "Create Relief." In version 9.1, this algorithm was perfected. It accurately interprets anti-aliased edges, creating smooth hills and valleys rather than jagged stair-steps. artcam pro 9.1
