Toolpath Generation

Toolpath generation is the process of creating a precise route or movement that a machine tool will follow to shape or cut materials, like metal or plastic. In manufacturing, computer programs use designs to calculate the optimal path for tools, ensuring accuracy and efficiency when producing parts. This involves considering factors like the shape of the object, the type of material, and the cutting speed. The result is a set of instructions that guides the machine to perform tasks like drilling, milling, or cutting, ultimately bringing a design to life with precision.
