• Drawing tools
• Editing tools
• Dimension tools
3D Fold & Graphics with ArtTrace (Prerequisite: none) – In this workshop, the participant will be exposed to the 3rd dimension of Impact. Impacts 3D engine not only allows the operator to create beautifully rendered 3D models of their designs, but also use the graphics that have been applied in the actual designing process. We will explore these powerful and easy to use tools by creating 3D designs and implementing ArtTrace to quickly make custom die cuts from the placed artwork.
• Creating 3D fold Models
• Applying Graphics
• Saving Hi-Res 3D images
• 3D PDF’s
• Creating custom die cuts with ArtTrace
3D Shape Creator & Multipart Design (Prerequisite: 3D Fold & Graphics with ArtTrace) – Impacts ability to place graphics and fold up a design is just the beginning. This workshop focuses on the flexible advanced modeling and assembly capabilities of Impact. You will see the ease of using an actual 3D model to create a design from. Then, by using Impacts new 3D trim feature, observe how quick it is to create custom dies from those 3D objects and automatically apply them in position to the design.
• Creating 3D Models
• Incorporation of Models to Design
• Designing custom die cuts with the 3D Trim tool
Tips & Tricks (Prerequisite: none) – Time is most precious in any work environment. This workshop provides participants with valuable time savers and techniques to maximize the potential of Impacts working environment.
