What is a .ART file?
The file extension .ART refers to an AOL Compressed Image File, which is primarily associated with ArtCAM, a specialized software used for computer numerical control (CNC) programming. This software is designed to aid in artistic design and manufacturing processes. The .ART file contains either a 2D or 3D model along with specific instructions that guide a CNC machine on how to cut or engrave the design onto various materials. This type of file is commonly used in the creation of signs, woodworking projects, engravings, and jewelry designs.
To open an .ART file, you can use the program Delcam ArtCAM, which is specifically designed to handle and process these files for CNC operations. If you need to convert an .ART file into a more widely compatible format, you can use the AOL File Viewer. After opening the file in AOL File Viewer, you can select "Save As..." and choose a different file format that suits your needs better. This conversion is useful if you need to share the file with others who may not have access to ArtCAM or if you need to open the file in different software.
