Welcome to PathPilot HUB

HUB is Tormach's center for your connected machine.

Simulate Machines

Create conversational programs and test your code from the couch.

Sync Your Files

Sign in to HUB on your mill, lathe, router, or plasma and sync files directly from your HUB account. No more USB thumb drives to lose!

Expand Your Classroom

HUB means that you no longer need every student on a machine just to test code. Let them simulate it online first!

Why PathPilot?

PathPilot is Tormach's user-friendly, robust control software. It's the brain behind all of our CNC machines, and is one of the dealmakers when people choose a Tormach.

PathPilot is:

  • Easy to learn
  • Easy to use
  • Useful, intuitive conversational programming (ideal for at-machine programming)

...It's another thing to show people it’s all those things. So we developed PathPilot HUB.

What's PathPilot HUB?

PathPilot HUB is a cloud-based, full-featured PathPilot simulator.

It’s perfect for taking PathPilot for a test drive and it’s great for learning about CNC. But it’s more than just an educational sandbox.

PathPilot HUB lets Tormach owners work on real-world, machinable CNC programs when away from their machines. Now you can trial G-code from your office machine instead of taking up time on the shop floor. Once you’ve proved out your G-Code program in the simulator, you can download it from the PathPilot HUB web interface and run it on a real machine.

It’s FREE and ready for you to get programming NOW!

New to CNC?

At Tormach, our mission is to Empower People Who Make Things.

We make affordable and approachable machines that allow people to prototype, build, engineer, and produce parts that make dreams happen.

If PathPilot HUB sounds like a good idea, please jump in. Use it. Give it a whirl. You can try before you buy and if you've never used CNC control software, it's a great place to wrap your head around building a set of skills that could be the foundation of a career, a side business, a new product. Let your dreams be your guide.

We want to be a partner in your CNC journey.
