What's New in Toolpath - February 25, 2026

Hello Toolpathers!

The Toolpath team has been hard at work and we've got a slew of new updates making setup easier, support your unique workflows, and manage your data.

Toolpath is built to help you work efficiently from receiving an RFQ to making chips, and we hope these updates help you go from CAD to real parts faster and with more confidence. Read more below!

• Cut Config Updates
• Round Stock
• Exclude Tools
• Data Management
• New Workholding (Vises & Library)
• New Vendor Tool Libraries

Cut Config Updates

Cut Configs are your "control center" for Toolpath. Through Cut Configs, you capture machining preferences, define tool eligibility, and dial in your cutting parameters for specific part materials and machines.

We've streamlined Cut Config creation by improving the user interface and providing direct access to custom materials, stock defaults, and estimate presets. Whether you are a Cut Config expert or brand new to Toolpath, see the video below for an overview of the new system:

Round Stock

Toolpath now supports round stock! Round, or cylindrical, stock can be enabled as default stock in a Cut Config, or applied individually to a part. Learn how below:

Exclude Tools

Break a tool and need to find the next best one quickly? No worries - you can know exclude a tool from a Toolpath program directly from the Tools page. Toolpath will regenerate the part and find the next best match!

Data Management

In the Projects page, you can now move parts between projects and apply tags to parts - giving you more granularity into how your data is organized. 

New Workholding (Vises & Workholding Library)

Toolpath now includes vise models from 5th Axis, Focus Manufacturing, and Orange - as well as a new workholding library to select from. See how to find and enable vises in the video below:

New Vendor Libraries

As always, the team is working on new vendor libraries to help you with quick tool recommendations. This week, you'll see:

• More Kennametal libraries including more carbide end mills, an assortment of insert tools, chamfer mills, and drills.

• Skookum General Purpose solid end mills for ferrous materials (4+ flutes)
