Toolpath provides an AI-powered platform that automates repetitive tasks within the manufacturing workflow, specifically focusing on estimating and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). The software accelerates job quoting and generates shop-ready CAM programs that integrate directly with Fusion 360. This automation allows machine shops to increase throughput by freeing skilled personnel to focus on complex decision-making rather than manual programming steps.

Problem
The CNC machining process often involves manual analysis of 3D CAD models, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. Generating accurate cost estimates and optimized CAM programs for CNC machines requires specialized expertise and can be a bottleneck in production.
Solution
Toolpath provides an AI-powered platform designed to automate and streamline the CNC machining workflow. The platform analyzes 3D CAD models to identify optimal machining strategies for 3-axis mills, automatically generates detailed cost estimates using user-defined or integrated tool libraries, and creates ready-to-execute CAM programs. By automating these processes, Toolpath reduces setup time, minimizes waste, and increases overall machining productivity. The platform integrates with Autodesk Fusion, allowing users to seamlessly transfer the generated setups and toolpaths directly into their existing CAM environment.
Target Audience
Toolpath is designed for machine shops, machinists, CAM programmers, and manufacturing businesses seeking to improve the efficiency and productivity of their CNC machining operations.
