Automating the process for providing a radiation filter is based on different software programs executed by a computer system. The software programs include customer interface software, tool path generation software and manufacture scheduling software. The customer interface software imports into a database a customer file for the radiation filter, and each of the different software programs set a flag in the database upon completion of their task. Tracking software tracks progress on manufacture of the radiation filter based on the different corresponding flags set in the database. The customer file is provided by a customer, and the customer remotely accesses the database to view progress on the manufacture of the radiation filter.
