Elevate your design and manufacturing processes with Autodesk Fusion
Discover how Autodesk and Toolpath are working together to bring CNC automation to Autodesk Fusion users with the release of the new Toolpath add-in.
For over 35 years, Autodesk has empowered designers and manufacturers to push the boundaries of what is possible. We have always believed that collaboration is key to driving innovation, and our partnerships reflect this philosophy. Today, we are excited to announce our partnership with Toolpath, a company that shares our commitment to helping CNC shops streamline their workflows and unlock new levels of productivity.
The release of the Toolpath add-in for Autodesk Fusion marks a significant milestone in this partnership. Designed to integrate seamlessly into Fusion’s manufacturing workspace, the Toolpath add-in harnesses the power of AI to automate Design For Machinability (DFM) and CAM programming, simplify quoting, and redirect machinists’ focus on solving the most important challenges in their shop
Smarter workflows, greater productivity
The CNC industry needs to balance speed with precision to increase capacity. By automating the most time-consuming, repetitive tasks, the Toolpath add-in for Autodesk Fusion helps machinists reduce errors, save time, and focus on higher-value work.
The Fusion experience is tightly integrated into Toolpath workflows. In Fusion, a customer can download the Toolpath add-in for access to CAM programming and estimating workflows. Or a customer can go on the web, use the Toolpath Estimator and automatically send parts to Fusion. Either way offers a seamless experience between tools.
With the Toolpath add-in, Fusion users can:
- Streamline estimating: Quickly price parts with accurate, data-driven estimates.
- Automate CAM programming: AI generates optimized toolpaths in minutes.
- Improve productivity: Eliminate repetitive tasks and focus on solving complex problems.
What sets the Toolpath Estimator apart is its ability to work with your tools and cutting parameters, produce accurate DFM analysis, estimate, and program based on the tools you have and the way you like to use them. This level of customization ensures that
workflows align perfectly with the unique needs of each shop, reducing wasted time and maximizing efficiency.
This collaboration exemplifies Autodesk’s commitment to giving manufacturers the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive industry.
Built on collaboration
Autodesk and Toolpath are making CNC workflows smarter, faster, and more accessible for shops of all sizes.
“At Toolpath, we are always looking for ways to help our users succeed,” says Al Whatmough, CEO of Toolpath. “The Toolpath add-in brings AI-powered CNC automation into Autodesk Fusion in a way that enhances productivity and delivers real value for machinists.”By bringing AI-driven solutions directly to Autodesk Fusion, Toolpath and Autodesk are equipping shops with the tools to stay ahead of the curve and embrace the opportunities of tomorrow.
