What Is Autodesk ArtCAM Premium?
Autodesk ArtCAM Premium is design and manufacturing software for creating 3D reliefs from photographs and vector artwork, with toolpath generation for CNC routers, laser engravers, and milling machines. It is the final release of the ArtCAM platform — discontinued by Autodesk in 2018 — and runs fully on Windows 10 and Windows 11 without any connection to Autodesk servers.
Premium extends the Standard edition with three exclusive capability groups unavailable in lower versions:
- Face Wizard — automatic photo-to-3D-relief conversion for portrait engraving, coin manufacturing, and personalized photo plaques
- Advanced relief sculpting — manual carving, blending, contour tools, and multi-layer relief assembly for complex ornamental work
- Coin and medallion toolpaths — specialized CNC strategies for numismatic and high-relief applications

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ArtCAM discontinued — can I still buy and use it?
Autodesk discontinued ArtCAM in 2018. The 2017 and 2018 versions available in this store are the final releases. Both install and run fully on Windows 10 and Windows 11 without any connection to Autodesk servers — no account, no activation check, no subscription required.
What is ArtCAM Premium used for?
ArtCAM Premium is used to create 3D reliefs from photographs and vector artwork and generate CNC toolpaths for routers and laser engravers. Primary applications include portrait and photo engraving, coin and medallion manufacturing, jewelry design, decorative woodwork, and architectural ornamentation.
What is the difference between ArtCAM Standard and Premium?
ArtCAM Standard covers general CNC design, vector editing, and toolpath generation. Premium adds Face Wizard photo-to-relief conversion, advanced relief blending and contour tools, and professional sculpting features for portrait engraving, coin manufacturing, and complex ornamental work.
What replaced ArtCAM?
Carveco was developed by the original ArtCAM team using the same codebase and is the direct successor product. It is available as a subscription only (~$60/month). ArtCAM 2018 remains the only one-time purchase option with the same underlying engine.
Can ArtCAM convert a photo into a 3D relief?
Yes. The Face Wizard feature in ArtCAM Premium automatically converts photographs into detailed 3D reliefs. You specify dimensions and detail level; ArtCAM generates the relief geometry ready for CNC engraving or milling.
Does ArtCAM require an internet connection or Autodesk account?
No. After installation, ArtCAM runs completely offline. No internet connection, Autodesk account, or cloud service is required at any point during use.
What CNC machines does ArtCAM support?
ArtCAM supports most CNC routers, laser engravers, and 2.5-axis and 3-axis milling machines. Toolpaths are exported using customizable post-processors that produce machine-specific G-code for a wide range of hardware brands.
