The brief

Analyst view

• CloudNC automates CNC strategy planning and toolpath generation—tasks that used to consume days now take minutes.
• Over 1,000 factories worldwide use CAM Assist, integrated into Mastercam, Fusion and Siemens NX.
• In September 2026, CloudNC raised $20M Series B extension, bringing total funding to $128M.

Technical approach

As reported

Neural network CAM generation

AI learns from machinist expertise

CAM Assist trains on thousands of real CNC programs from expert machinists, learning strategies and parameters to apply to new parts.

Multi-axis optimization

Feed rate and tool selection

The AI optimizes feed rates, spindle speeds and tool selection based on material, geometry and machine capabilities.

CAD-to-code integration

Embedded in existing CAM software

CAM Assist plugs into Mastercam, Fusion and Siemens NX, generating candidate toolpaths for user review and editing.
