PITTSBURGH, PA, Dec 18, 2025 – Kennametal is integrating its verified tooling data into Hexagon‘s cloud-based Tool Library, linking Kennametal’s tool information with Hexagon’s CAM machining workflows. This integration provides machinists access to verified Kennametal digital tooling data within workflows.
The integration lets machinists import Kennametal tooling data into Hexagon’s WORKNC CAM software. This reduces setup time and improves machining accuracy. The cloud-based tool library supports 3D models and scalable access to thousands of tools.
“This integration helps manufacturers access our machining solutions more efficiently,” said Dr. Carlonda Reilly, chief technology officer, Kennametal. “By combining our validated tooling data with Hexagon’s powerful CAM technology, we’re advancing our strategy to enable digitalization of the manufacturing value chain to better serve machine shops worldwide.”
