“Before Toolpath, my biggest bottleneck was quoting. 

After adopting Toolpath, my biggest bottleneck is spindle capacity.”

Computer First. Human Led.

For decades, CAD and CAM have been computer aided. The human makes the decisions, and the software runs the math.

Toolpath flips the model.

When you upload a part, Toolpath begins immediately. It builds an operation plan, checks your tool library, and estimates cost. Then you step in to guide and refine. The computer takes the first step. The human gives direction.

This is Human Aided Manufacturing.

Toolpath is built on proven technology from Autodesk and ModuleWorks, and backed by Kennametal. That means it starts smart, and it keeps getting smarter — with the trust of the industry behind it.

“If I can take the dull, dirty, and dangerous off my team’s plate and let automation handle it, I free them up to use their superpowers on the hard stuff.”

Mike Payne, Hill Manufacturing

The New Industrial Revolution

The last time technology reshaped the labor market, it moved value from the shop floor to the front office. Physical work gave way to mental work. Engineers replaced machinists at the top of the pay scale.

But now AI is shifting that balance again. This revolution is not about going backward — it is about automating mental repetition the same way the last one automated physical labor. And as that happens, the most valuable people will be the ones with judgment and real world understanding.

Not the person who can format a drawing. The person who knows how a part holds together in the vise. The one who sees a burr before the machine stops cutting.

These professionals will not be replaced. They will be multiplied. Toolpath is here to give them leverage.

“The last industrial revolution automated muscle power. This one is automating brain power. As this shift happens, it is the people who understand how things actually go together,  the ones with real world context, who will become the most valuable. Toolpath exists to serve those people.”

Al Whatmough, Toolpath CEO
