CloudNC

CloudNC is a London precision-manufacturing software company whose CAM Assist product uses AI to generate and review CNC machining strategies and toolpaths inside existing CAM workflows (including Autodesk Fusion, Mastercam, Siemens NX, GibbsCAM and SolidCAM), helping machine shops quote and program faster while keeping human review before production. The software is used by more than 1,000 machine shops globally, including hundreds in the US, with named customers such as Lockheed Martin and Major Tool & Machine; CloudNC also runs its own UK factory machining parts for aerospace, space, energy, automotive and defence. In September 2026 CloudNC raised $20 million led by Nimble Ventures, with Calculus Venture Capital, Entrepreneur First and LM Ventures (Lockheed Martin’s VC arm), to expand CAM Assist into new markets, grow go-to-market and support, pursue FedRAMP for US government work, and develop new AI tools including Quote Agent for automated machining estimates.
