What Is the TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant?
.png)
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant is intelligent software for the automated analysis of CNC parts and the systematic planning of their manufacturing processes.
Based on a 3D model and a technical drawing, the software identifies relevant geometric features, recommends suitable manufacturing processes, creates process plans, and determines the required cutting tools.
The AI Tool Assistant supports key tasks in cost estimation, process planning, and CAM programming — from the initial assessment of a new part through to production preparation.
Less Effort in Tool and Machining Planning
New parts require significant manual analysis: technical drawings and 3D models must be reviewed, machining steps defined, and suitable tools selected.
Especially in companies with high product variety and small batch sizes, this results in time-consuming search and coordination processes. Missing tools or planning errors can also lead to additional delays.
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant automates these steps and provides a structured foundation for faster and more reliable tool and machining planning.

Der Anwender stellt das 3D-Modell und die technische Zeichnung des zu fertigenden Bauteils bereit. Diese Dokumente bilden die Grundlage für die automatisierte Analyse.
Automatically Analyze the Part
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant analyzes the geometry of the part and identifies relevant features, machining characteristics, and manufacturing requirements.
Determine the Manufacturing Process
Based on the identified features, the software recommends suitable manufacturing processes and structures the required machining steps.
Arbeitsplan und Werkzeugbedarf erstellen
Der KI-Werkzeugassistent erstellt einen nachvollziehbaren Arbeitsplan und ermittelt die für die einzelnen Bearbeitungsschritte benötigten Werkzeuge.
Include Existing Tool Inventory
By connecting to existing tool management systems, the available tool inventory can be incorporated into the planning process. This enables missing tools and required special-purpose tools to be identified at an early stage.

APIs
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant can be integrated into existing IT and tool management systems. Interfaces to ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions and COSCOM ToolDIRECTOR are already available.
For Companies with High Product Variety
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant is particularly suitable for contract manufacturers and production companies that regularly plan and manufacture new or changing CNC parts.
It is especially beneficial in environments with high product variety, small batch sizes, and frequently changing customer orders. The more new parts need to be analyzed and planned, the greater the potential to reduce the workload across the departments involved.

Data Security
The TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant can be deployed in accordance with your company’s IT and security requirements.
It can be operated either on a dedicated, individually assigned server in Germany or fully on-premises within your own IT infrastructure.
In both deployment models, you retain full control over your part, drawing, and tooling data.
Discover the Potential for Your Manufacturing Operations
Learn in a personal product demonstration how the TOOLTIP AI Tool Assistant can support your cost estimation, process planning, and CAM programming.
Together, we will review your requirements, existing planning processes, and system landscape. This gives you a clear understanding of how automated part analysis and tool planning can be applied in your company.
