Jdsoft Artform — 3.5 ((top))

Compared to its predecessors, version 3.5 brought several quality-of-life improvements:

Select your machining strategies. Typically, this involves a (e.g., Z-level carving with an end mill) to remove bulk material, followed by a Finishing Toolpath (e.g., raster carving with a ball-nose or tapered V-bit) to capture fine details. Step 5: Post-Processing Jdsoft Artform 3.5

The software introduces an advanced "Prong Fitting" algorithm in version 3.5. When a designer selects a stone and a prong style (e.g., claw, fishtail, bead), the software calculates the exact tension and contact points required for a secure fit. Furthermore, the "Pave Path" tool has been upgraded to handle complex, double-curved surfaces. Designers can now project a pave pattern onto a twisted shank, and Artform 3.5 will automatically orient each bead and grain to the surface normal, ensuring that light reflects uniformly off every stone.
