Different optimization techniques are being used for optimization of drilling tool path problems. In this paper two techniques SFLA and ACO has been combined to form a hybrid SFLA-ACO algorithm and has been applied to the real world industrial problems.Two real world problems have been taken from the local manufacturing industries. In both the problems the objective is to optimize the tool traveling time through hybrid SFLA-ACO and compare it with CAM software.Four CAM softwares have been used for comparison purpose. The problems undertaken are solved through these CAM software and compared with the results of hybrid SFLA-ACO results. As result of comparison it is found that in both the problems the performance of hybrid SFLA-ACO algorithm remains outclass. This signifies that results of CAM software in case of optimization of drilling tool path are not always optimal and these can be improved by using different optimization techniques.
