Downtown Atlanta has been @CallRail's home since 2015. It's been a great place to build: Accessible, affordable, and lively. It's wonderful to see @AtlantaVentures investing to create new momentum in South Downtown.

Loving the enthusiasm for innovation in machining, and completely respect any skepticism. It’s difficult, there’s a ton to prove, and no points for “almost”.

We're CNC machining parts from our shop near Cleveland. If you upload a part to Toolpath and it passes our checks (it gets a machinability score of 100, requires 4 ops or fewer, and it fits in a shoebox), you'll get an instant quote. We're hungry to run parts; it's how we improve our software platform. If you don't like the quote you see, tell me what it should cost and let's do business.

Huge thanks to everyone who signed up and analyzed parts on Toolpath.com this week. Keep the parts rolling in! We're getting better every day. We believe the first step in CAM automation for CNC machining is figuring out if the part can be machined (and if it can't, helping you fix it). That's why we've launched Toolpath Design Advisor, the first in a series of products to help you design and make precision parts faster and more efficiently.

Tons of great parts uploaded yesterday, and a few bugs to work through. Solid progress toward machining automation.
Automatic DFM analysis for CNC machining is live on toolpath.com. One important step on our path to accelerate CAM with part geometry comprehension and AI.

And of course the team is crushing through these now.

Safe AI in machining: don’t crash a spindle, break a tool, or scrap a part.

Machinists really know how to make the most of a USPS Flat Rate Box.

The eBay algorithm has decided to email me deals on randomly-sized bars of 6061 aluminum, and I think I'm into it. What masterpiece is hiding inside that small, well-priced block of metal?

Pushed this endmill a little too hard today…for science. @ToolpathLabs – at Peachtree City, GA

What a run! CallRail’s best days and biggest opportunities are still ahead, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish through Marc's leadership. As for me, I’m excited to start from zero and do it all again.
Our team couldn’t be more grateful for Andy’s leadership as our co-founder and CEO over the past 10 years. As he passes the torch with confidence to Marc Ginsberg, we hope you’ll take a minute to read his open letter: bit.ly/3x6YVL3

I can't resist. I have to point out that @CallRail has been recognized on the @inc5000 for the 💥 fifth 💥 year in a row. It was a dream to make it once; five times is surreal. A testament to an awesome team and fantastic customers. 🙌 callrail.com/blog/inc-5000-l…

Ready or not, the economy is coming back. Calls to businesses are up 15% over the @CallRail pre-COVID benchmark.

Calls are back.
We just pulled the data on current call volume relative to pre-COVID levels. Here it is! 🎢
