Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for posting!

If you have ArtCAM software, you will be able to export STL file.

I've found this article that how to export STL model. Hopefully it will help.

And this is Fusion Import part list for your reference.

If i missed something please let me know.

Many thanks!

Sorry, but we misunderstood each other. I am talking about program called ArtCam Express, which does not have an option to create 3 D files, like .STEP. It only allowed to export those formats, which does not work with Fusion 360, those format files are : .eps .dxf dgk pic art

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for replying.

Yes, my article I attached before were mentioned about ArtCAM. I found the article from ArtCAM website. according that, the program can export as STL.

There is a functionality called 'Mesh Creator' available on 'Model' toolbar which can be used to Save/Export ArtCAM relief in 'stl' format.

And I'm sorry I can't handle the ArtCAM. here is ArtCAM forum website. it would be help.

If you need more help, please let me know.

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I am sorry to let you know that, ArtCAM Express doesn't have capability to transfer/export the Relief/model/Clipart Relief (even with any additional Module/s).

ArtCAM Express was part of the ArtCAM product range unit it last release 2015 R2, but is not a part of the present ArtCAM 2017 product range. ArtCAM Express and its associated modules have been discontinued. For various FAQ regarding older ArtCAM Express, please have a look at this click here article in the Autodesk Knowledge Network.

The present ArtCAM release is ArtCAM 2017 and it is available in three different variants: Free, Standard and Premium. Please download the PDF document available at the end of the above mentioned FAO article which lists the features comparison between the above mentioned ArtCAM 2017 variants.

As rightly mentioned by @ahreum.ryu there is a tool called ‘Create mesh’ which can be used to export the Relief as an stl format, but this tool is only available in ArtCAM Standard and Premium.

ArtCAM Standard 2017 and ArtCAM Premium 2017 is available to purchase on a monthly or annual subscription basis from the Autodesk Store. Following are the Autodesk Store links,

For ArtCAM Standard 2017 : Click here

For ArtCAM Premium 2017 : Click here

I am sorry I couldn't be much help here, but hope this answers your question. Please let us know if you require more help; we will be more than happy to continue assisting you.

Thanks and regards,
