If you want the most "ArtCAM-like" experience, Carveco is the primary choice. It was built by many of the using the same codebase, meaning it retains almost all the familiar tools, features, and workflows.
is widely considered the "spiritual successor" to ArtCAM. It was founded by former ArtCAM developers and is built on the original ArtCAM codebase Familiarity:
If you are a woodworker, jeweler, sign maker, or CNC machinist, you likely remember the shockwave that hit the digital fabrication world in 2018. Autodesk announced the formal discontinuation of . For nearly two decades, ArtCAM was the gold standard for converting 2D raster images (like JPEGs or hand-drawn sketches) into 3D CNC toolpaths—specifically for artistic relief modeling.
It excels at turning photos into 3D carvings, a feature that made ArtCam incredibly famous.
Advanced relief modeling from 2D vectors and bitmaps.
Hobbyists on a budget who love the bitmap approach.
