If you are reading this, you likely have a hard drive full of legacy design files with the extensions or .3cl , and you’ve just realized that double-clicking them doesn't do what it used to. With Autodesk discontinuing ArtCAM back in 2018, the struggle to simply view or verify these files without maintaining an expensive, legacy license is real.
– The Official Successor
Note: "Verified" here means widely used and compatible tools known to open ArtCAM outputs or convert ArtCAM exports; only ArtCAM itself can guarantee complete .art fidelity.
When Autodesk discontinued ArtCAM, the original development team formed a new company called Carveco. Carveco is built on the exact same source code as ArtCAM.
