Help & Information

Welcome to TOOLTIP AI tool assistant, an AI-powered assistant for analysing CNC parts and recommending cutting tools.

TOOLTIP AI tool assistant is currently a test version. Results may contain errors and should be reviewed before use in your machining workflow.

Currently, only parts intended for milling are supported.

Getting started

  1. Register or sign in using your company email address.

  2. Upload a STEP model of your part. Supported file extensions are .stp and .step, using AP203, AP214 or AP242. Upload one part per file.

  3. Optionally, add a PDF drawing of the same part. The PDF must contain exactly one page.

  4. Select the material, using either an ISO material group or a specific workpiece material.

  5. Review the results, including recognised features, machining routes and recommended tools. Check them against your part and manufacturing requirements. If a recommended tool is unsuitable, compare the available alternatives in the results.

  6. Use the resulting tool list to support your machining planning.

Supported CAD models

The current test version works best with STEP models exported from common CAD applications, including Autodesk products, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo and Fusion 360. STEP models from other CAD applications may also work. Occasional issues may occur.

Additional colours in an uploaded model may cause display errors.
