What's New in Toolpath: August 2025

Ben Engle

Hey Toolpathers! August is here, and we've packed in a bunch of quality-of-life updates, customization features, and user-requested improvements to help you move faster and machine smarter with Toolpath.

In this update:

  • Project Level Cut Configs
  • Custom Stock
  • Visual Tool Geometry & Tool Holder Support
  • Section View
  • New Tool Library Filters
  • Cut Config Role Grouping
  • 📺 Machining Minutes — Full Workflow on YouTube

Project Level Cut Configs​

Set your Cut Config at the project level. No need to spend time changing each one manually. This feature works great when you have a job with multiple parts that are all going to run on the same machine with the same material.

Custom Stock​

Got multiple bodies in a single file? Toolpath now supports custom stock, allowing you to define stock directly from specific geometry. This is especially useful for castings, 3D prints, or customer-provided solids. Check out How to use Solid Bodies as Custom Stock to get started.

Visualize Tool Geometry & Tool Holder​

You'll now see visual representations of tool geometry directly in the tool library. This means it's easier than ever to edit flute length, gauge tool stickout, or any tool parameter.

Section View is Here!​

Now you can enable section view in the part viewer to slice through geometry and analyze internal geometry, deep pockets, or overlapping bores. This is extremely helpful for inspection and examining blind features.

New Tool Library Filters​

The new filtering system in the tool library helps you quickly narrow down by type, diameter, material, or custom tags.

Tool Grouping by Role in Cut Config​

Cut configs are now easier to understand and manage thanks to Tool Grouping by Role. Quickly view what tools have the same preset. You can always toggle this view by unchecking the "Group by Role" check box to simply view the tools in each library.

📺 Machining Minutes — Full Workflow on YouTube​

Want to see Toolpath in action from start to part? Our Content Manager Ben walks through the full workflow — from loading a solid model to analyzing, programming, and machining the part. You can find these videos on our YouTube channel under the Machining Minutes playlist. It's perfect for new users, training team members, or just seeing the latest features in context.

Check out a recent video below where we machine a Datron window bracket to display our sticker-bombed window from IMTS. We even show a new preview feature that lets you import your CAM automation into a current Fusion document instead of opening up a new instance.

We'd love to hear how you're using these new features — and if you're testing something cool, tag us or drop a line in the community.
