ToolShop CAD and Toolpathing.

ART ToolShop capabilities

CAD and toolpathing built around the way CNC work is prepared.

Create, repair and process cutting geometry without breaking the production flow between drawing and machine output.

Built-in precision CAD

Prepare parts where you prepare the job.

ToolShop includes a precision CAD environment for creating parts, working with imported geometry and making production-ready corrections. Node editing lets operators join, break and repair shapes while retaining the work already applied to them.

Process control

Choose the toolpath that matches the cut.

ToolShop provides detailed control for routing, engraving and profile cutting processes, from simple centre-line work to multi-pass machining.

Centre-line and offset

Generate toolpaths on the geometry or offset them to the required side of the profile.

Multi-pass machining

Build fully configurable passes for materials and processes that require staged depth.

Lead-ins and lead-outs

Use configurable arc, line, ramped and following entry and exit moves.

Tabs and bridges

Apply 2D or 3D holding tabs and bridges to keep parts stable during cutting.

Fills and engraving

Create island and line fills, plus adjustable diamond-cut engraving toolpaths.

Layer-driven workflows

Use layer settings to control selective import, export and repeatable process assignment.
