    Rhinoceros VS Autodesk ArtCAM

    Is Rhinoceros a good alternative to Autodesk ArtCAM?
     
    Comments about Rhinoceros as an Alternative to Autodesk ArtCAM
     
    Carbonator

    Rhino is probably the only CAD solution which for the price offers and delivers quality in creation. However this is only a CAD and it needs a multitude of plug-in to bring it to the level of ArtCAM. This is not an alternative but a more complex piece of software which will disappoint most of the new/young designers.

    Cute 3D solution but not aiming to design jewelry or bas reliefs. This is basically Rhino on a different platform with no real artistic tools.

    I like TYPE EDIT as an alternative to Autodesk ArtCam as it provides similar features and identical workflows. It is completely scalable from 2D to 3D and allows 2.5 Projections for mold applications.

    it deals with 3D mesh for the wood industry and can machine them directly in its CAM module. Of all alternative I think this is the 2nd one with Meshcam capable of doing this.

    3D Jewelry cad software, 3design is ideal for creating custom jewelry. Its parametric capability and multi-platform compatibility (Mac & PC) are just a few of the powerful features of this software.
