Not sure where to start? Introduce yourself here...

Hello Everyone! This is my first post to the Carveco Community. I'm really excited to see ArtCAM's legacy continued with Carveco.

I thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce myself - and hope fellow participants will do the same, in the name of making new friends and building a powerful, professional community. I'm also hoping to see a bunch of my friends from the old (original Delcam) forum here. 

My name is Brady Watson, and I am a production consultant. I am mostly well known for 3D laser scanning, metrology, and CNC routing in some circles. I started out using ArtCAM 20 years ago. I'd almost forgotten how fun this software can be when you allow yourself to play a little :)

  • Nice to see you, Brady! 

    I'm Chris Murray (also known as Muz, or Muzza from time-to-time) and I began working with the ArtCAM team in a marketing role waaaayyyyyyyy back in 2006, after initially joining Delcam as a Graduate Designer the year before. I continued to work in ArtCAM for the next several years, producing anything and everything from a web, video and graphics point-of-view, outside of the software itself. I was also lucky enough to meet many ArtCAM customers at our User Group in San Diego. After a brief venture into User Experience design with a technical publishing company, I returned to (what is now....) Autodesk in 2017 as a UX Design Manager. 

    Today, I'm extremely happy to be back doing a mix of both marketing and UX with Carveco; where you'll mainly find me building the site, producing video tutorials and (along with my colleagues) attempting to continually improve the processes and service we provide to our customers. 

    There's still lots to do(!), but we're building and improving Carveco every day. We particularly value the input we receive from the community. Please don't be shy in letting us know what we're doing right, but especially what you feel we could improve on. 

    We're writing the next chapter of this great piece of software with you all, and I'm really excited to see the story unfold.

  • Hi Everyone,

    I'm Dillon Moulder, the Director of Customer Success at Carveco. I was part of the ArtCAM team between March 2001 and November 2018, initially with Delcam then subsequently with Autodesk. During that time I worked in Documentation, Customer Support, Quality Assurance and Product Ownership. I was always dedicated to delivering the best possible customer experience for ArtCAM users, and continued this commitment up until the day that support for the product ended.

    I've spent a great deal of time building relationships with customers across online forums and communities, at user groups and through beta testing programs. My goals with Carveco are to heal the pain inflicted on the ArtCAM user community in recent years, grow strong relationships between our company and its customers, and to deliver an unparalleled customer experience. It will inevitably take time to realize this vision, but I'll do everything I can to make it happen as soon as I possibly can.

    It's a pleasure to see so many familiar names and faces supporting Carveco, and I'm most grateful for your decision to partner with us on this journey.

  • Hi Everyone!

    Gerald Martin here. My first experience with ArtCAM was with ArtCAM 2D, then Insignia - for my ShopBot CNC router.

    Now running a PRS ShopBot with Centroid control and Clearpath servos. I have a hobby shop and enjoy design work and one-off projects.

    Excited to see Carveco take ArtCAM and run with it!

  • Hi Folks!

    I'm Wil Wolski. I've been a furniture designer/maker for quite some time and Carveco is my first CAM tool. I will be using this with my homebuilt CNC machine to cut down on milling time, as well as for the introduction of carved elements to my work.

    Having designed many GUIs in my day job, I find the user interface very intuitive and doesn't have me looking for help.

    I look forward to creating many beautiful things with Carveco.

    Cheers!

  • Hi All,

    I'm Barry Goodman. I have been a jeweller for about 45 years and an ArtCAM JewelSmith user since 2005. Glad to see ArtCAM live again as Carveco and looking forward to seeing old friends on this new community.

  • Hi Everyone.

    This is exciting ..Well done Carveco and great to see Dillon here as well..

    Like Barry, I have been a bench jeweller for 47 years and can't remember when I first got ArtCAM (I think it was version 3 or 4). I have been using it ever since. I have tools that I have not used in 15 years because of CAD - LOL

    Anyway, glad to be here. Well done again.

    Cheers.

  • Hello Everyone,

     

    Wow, this is really amazing to see so many familiar people from the ArtCAM days moving to the new Carveco world!

    Carveco has done a really wonderful thing with giving new life to ArtCAM, the software is too brilliant to lose. I'm very happy to see the ArtCAM friends and family moving in this direction together!

     

    For those who are newer, my name is Jennifer Dunn, and I've supported ArtCAM for almost 20 years, since 2001. It was an incredible journey with many interesting things learned from so many customers over the years.

     

    A BIG HELLO to all my old friends, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying Carveco :)

     

    Cheers,

    Jen
