ArtCAM enables you to export reliefs and project assemblies to file for 3D printing. 3D printing is a method of rapid prototyping (RP) for additive manufacturing. With 3D printing, there is no need to generate and simulate toolpaths or to specify material settings like there is with machining for subtractive manufacturing.
To export reliefs or project assemblies to file for 3D printing, select 3D Printing > Print Relief or 3D Printing > Print Project. The 3D Print panel is displayed, in which you can specify the type of printer to be used and its details.
To prepare a project assembly for 3D printing that requires supports, you must first create a 3D Printing Platform item in the Project Tree. Supports are used to steady assemblies during printing and can be removed afterwards. The locations of supports are determined by contact points, which you can add manually or generate automatically. All the parts you want to print, and any associated structures, must be nested beneath the 3D Printing Platform item for them to be included in the printing job.
