You can download tool libraries or tool databases from different manufacturers and then import them into your Tool Database within any Carveco product. After doing so, the included tools can be selected when creating a toolpath in your Carveco product, eliminating the need to manually specify tool dimensions and resulting in substantial time savings.

Note that you can only import a tool library or tool database saved in *.tdb format.
