Discontinued artistic CAD/CAM software for CNC relief carving, engraving, signmaking, woodworking, and jewelry models
ArtCAM work is often judged by the finished relief, engraved panel, sign, or jewelry form before it reaches a CNC machine. RENDERCAD is useful when you have a legacy ArtCAM viewport, toolpath simulation, or exported preview and need a polished customer-facing image without rebuilding the design in a separate renderer. Capture the shaded relief or model view and use RENDERCAD to create a clearer render for approvals, shop presentations, catalogs, and quoting visuals while keeping machining decisions inside ArtCAM or your CAM workflow.
In ArtCAM, frame the relief, ring, sign panel, plaque, or engraving preview so the raised detail and surface character are visible. Capture the viewport or simulation view, then use RENDERCAD to improve lighting, material feel, and presentation quality from that visual input. Use the result for visual sign-offs, product mockups, and sales images; keep toolpath validation, machine setup, and post-processing in ArtCAM or your supported CAM software.

Yes. Upload any interior or exterior photo as a background reference. The AI places your product in that space with realistic lighting and shadows.
Absolutely. Mask each component of your ArtCAM assembly and assign unique texture references to each, creating a cohesive multi-material render.
Yes. Mask a region, then assign a specific reference image just to that masked area. Other areas can have different references or default to the prompt.
Prompt for "Blue Tinted Glass" or "Amber Glass" in RENDERCAD. The AI handles the color absorption and transparency.
You don't need to place lights manually. Upload your image or snip your model, then use RENDERCAD's Background setting "Gradient" or "White" to simulate a clean studio environment.
Yes, use the "Details" field in the video tab to describe elements like "Steam rising" or "Lights flickering."
Select "4K" in the RENDERCAD Resolution settings. Our engine upscales and details your CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing into a high-res marketing image in 10-60 seconds.
Go to Render History, find the image, click it, and select "Re-render" to try new prompts.
Prompt "Stainless steel case," "Leather strap," and "Macro photography."
Describe the color code name (e.g., "Traffic Red") in the prompt.
It is a "Zero Footprint" solution. All processing happens on our cloud GPUs, so your laptop fan won't even spin up while generating 4K images.
Since RENDERCAD is also browser-accessible, it fits perfectly into a fully cloud-based workflow without requiring local software installation.
