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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The release of the Toolpath add-in for Autodesk Fusion marks a significant milestone in this partnership. Designed to integrate seamlessly into Fusion\u2019s 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\u2019 focus on solving the most important challenges in their shop<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"smarter-workflows-greater-productivity\">Smarter workflows, greater productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Toolpath add-in, Fusion users can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streamline estimating: Quickly price parts with accurate, data-driven estimates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automate CAM programming: AI generates optimized toolpaths in minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve productivity: Eliminate repetitive tasks and focus on solving complex problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>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<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>workflows align perfectly with the unique needs of each shop, reducing wasted time and maximizing efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This collaboration exemplifies Autodesk\u2019s commitment to giving manufacturers the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"built-on-collaboration\">Built on collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Autodesk and Toolpath are making CNC workflows smarter, faster, and more accessible for shops of all sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Toolpath, we are always looking for ways to help our users succeed,\u201d says Al Whatmough, CEO of Toolpath. \u201cThe Toolpath add-in brings AI-powered CNC automation into Autodesk Fusion in a way that enhances productivity and delivers real value for machinists.\u201dBy 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.
