Toolpath Increases Machinist Productivity
We don’t replace skilled people — we remove the bottlenecks that slow them down.If you’re quoting by hand, editing toolpaths manually, or losing time to tribal setups, Toolpath helps your team move faster.
The industry has been talking about a skills gap for years.
But most machinists already know what to do — they just don’t have time to do it.

The Skills Gap Is a Myth.
The Productivity Gap Is the Real Threat.
In 1933, there were 7,000 commercial pilots in the U.S., but not enough flying jobs to match. Average pay was about $3,300 per year, which translates to roughly $77,200 today. Autopilot technology arrived and changed the game. Pilots were not replaced; instead, they became more effective and essential. Fast forward to now—there are over 400,000 commercial pilots, still not enough to meet demand, and the average salary is $211,790.
When automation is done right, it multiplies the value of skilled professionals rather than replacing them. The same transformation is happening in manufacturing.
Most machinists have the skill, but they are overwhelmed by manual quoting, constant toolpath tweaks, and repetitive setups. This is the real productivity gap. Toolpath takes care of the repetitive, time-consuming tasks so experienced machinists can focus on high-impact work: optimizing workflows, running multiple machines, improving part quality, and staying ahead in a competitive market.
Much like pilots, skilled machinists are not being replaced. They are becoming more important and more valuable than ever.
