We’re excited to bring you the latest enhancements to CAM Assist, driven by our users' feedback.

3+2 has been our most requested user feature: we’d love to hear your feedback!
Tool management assistance - our Tool Onboarding Manager alerts you to tool compatibility issues and guides you through fixes.
Material-aware tool management - the ‘Materials’ tab in the Tool Onboarding Manager UI has been updated to be more intuitive.
User-friendly error guidance - Are you new to CAM Assist? Our tailored error messaging will help you navigate any initial challenges smoothly.
Improvements:
Better error handling - we’ve upgraded our error management system to provide you with a more reliable and supportive user experience.
Streamlined payments - payment processing is temporarily shifted back to Stripe for a smoother transaction experience.
Fixes:
Enhanced Machining Boundaries - we’ve made the machining boundary more robust, especially for Detailed Roughing.
Code optimization - improved handling of tools with ‘0’ flute length and diameter.
Collision and loading corrections - resolved issues with non-cutting cylinders and T-slot tool loading from Fusion.
Lexical and grammar corrections - we’ve polished our language for clarity.
Stability enhancements - fixed crashes related to invalid tool exceptions and Machining Extension running at startup in a certain configuration.
