Toolpath Generation & NC Programming
Toolpath generation is a fundamental component of CNC machining, meticulously defining the precise trajectory that a cutting tool follows to shape a workpiece. This trajectory ensures controlled and accurate material removal, achieving the desired final product with high precision. The effectiveness of the machining process—encompassing its quality, accuracy, and efficiency—is directly influenced by the toolpath design.
In addition to mapping out the geometry of the part, CNC toolpaths set critical cutting parameters, including chip load, which denotes the volume of material removed per tool revolution.

The toolpath generation process begins with a detailed CAD model, which serves as the basis for creating machining instructions using CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. These instructions are then translated into G-code, the standardized language interpreted by CNC machines.
Throughout the machining process, the cutting tool navigates the X, Y, and Z axes, progressively removing material to form the intended shape. An optimized toolpath is designed to minimize non-productive time—when the tool is not engaged in cutting—and maximize productive cutting time, thereby enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency.
