About 3D machining toolpaths

Use 3D machining toolpaths when you want to machine 3D shapes.

ArtCAM includes several types of 3D toolpath. For example, machine-relief toolpaths for machining entire reliefs; feature-machining toolpaths for machining raised and recessed features; and laser-machining toolpaths for removing waste material using a laser-engraving machine.

Note: The availability of some toolpaths is license dependent.

The following example demonstrates how to create machine-relief toolpaths from one of the reliefs available in the Relief Clipart Library.
