Using the Toolpath Add-in for Autodesk Fusion

The Toolpath Add-in for Autodesk Fusion to make moving parts between Toolpath and Fusion faster and easier.

Many shops use both tools - but the specific workflow can vary widely.

Some shops receive hundreds of RFQs every week. You review parts in Toolpath to quickly evaluate manufacturability and pricing, then only send accepted work to Fusion for programming. In this case, uploading parts to Toolpath directly through the web browser or via email might be the best option.

Others are designing and prototyping in Fusion while using Toolpath to quickly iterate on CAM programs. In this case, working to and from Fusion may be a better workflow.

At Toolpath, we believe planning and programming should work together. No matter how you work, the updated Toolpath add-in keeps data accessible, so you can move between estimating, planning, and programming with less friction and more confidence.
