**Role:** Tooling Engineer / CNC Programmer   
**Hands off to:** CNC Programmer / Production Engineer ([Stage II](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/start-here/quickstart/engineering/))

The Tooling Engineer builds the product library that every other module depends on. Products become the source for inventory items, tool assembly components, and CAM data.

## Demo data

### Product library

You will need asset files from three vendors before starting.

- **Sandvik Coromant** — download the demo GTC package from their website for registered users.
- **Iscar and Tungaloy** — download individual asset files for these products:

### Tool assembly list

The demo project uses that product library to build 11 tool assemblies for a part named *Tap guide block* (see [Stage II](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/start-here/quickstart/engineering/#demo-part)). The Assembly Structure column lists the products each tool assembly needs. Follow the [build a tool assembly](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/library/tutorials/build-tool-assembly/) tutorial for each entry in this list:

## Workflow

1. [Import the GTC package](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/library/tutorials/import-gtc-package/) from Sandvik Coromant.
2. [Add a product manually](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/library/tutorials/create-custom-product/) for each Iscar and Tungaloy product using its downloaded asset file (repeat for all 13 products in the table above).
3. [Build](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/library/tutorials/build-tool-assembly/) all 11 tool assemblies from the Tool Assembly List.
4. Use the machining calculator (the **Cutting Data** tab of a tool assembly) to [calculate cutting data](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/library/tutorials/calculate-cutting-data/) for each tool assembly.

## Outcome

Product library populated, tool assemblies built. Engineers can start CAM preparation in [Stage II](https://support.toolingmetrics.com/en/start-here/quickstart/engineering/).
