What's New in Toolpath — February 25, 2026

Paul Clauss

Hello Toolpathers! The Toolpath team has been hard at work and we've got a slew of new updates to make setup easier, support your unique workflows, and better 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.

In this update:

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

Chat has moved!​

Sick of dragging the chat icon out of the lower right-hand corner? We were too. The chat icon is now integrated into the left-hand navigation bar. Reach the Toolpath Customer Success team directly by creating a chat — the best time to ask questions is when you have them.

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 (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 now 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).
