ENCY Software introduces a wide range of new features and enhancements across the entire ENCY X ecosystem that together reduce setup time, improve machining quality, and support real-world production needs.
ENCY 2.0: What’s New
Interface
The ENCY 2.0 interface introduces a redesigned start page that streamlines user access to tutorials, project libraries, and collaborative workspaces. Users can now preview projects directly from the home screen, access shared content instantly, and join cloud-based sessions with fewer steps.
The update also includes a clear license and maintenance status bar — a small but practical feature that helps users stay informed and avoid unexpected access issues.
Another key change is the addition of a light UI theme. While ENCY’s dark mode remains popular for extended work sessions, users now have the flexibility to switch to a bright interface, depending on their preference or workspace lighting conditions.
Platform Enhancements
- Tool Assemblies*. A new Machine Kit editor enables users to create full tool assemblies for mill-turn machines, combining holders, adapters, and cutting tools. Configurations are fully interactive and editable during project setup, with instant turret changes and detailed 3D visualization.
- Propagation. Geometry selection is now faster thanks to propagation with feature recognition. This reduces manual input and speeds up job definition, especially in parts with repetitive features.
New Technologies
- 5D Surfacing Enhancements. Several upgrades improve control and surface quality:
– Barrel Tool Support enables smooth contact point transitions for taper barrel mills.
– Adaptive Step in parallel-to-curve strategies ensures uniform tool engagement and better finish.
– Radial/Axial Stock lets users set material allowance independently in two directions for fine-tuned results. - Surface Extension. Users can now extend part geometry directly in model mode, simplifying tool entry/retract near boundaries and improving path continuity in finishing operations.
- Machining from Inside. ENCY 2.0 now natively supports internal surface machining. Operations like rotary finishing, morph, 6D contouring, and 5D surfacing can be applied inside closed geometries — without workarounds or manual edits.
Feeds and Speeds*
ENCY 2.0 introduces a smart feeds and speeds table that adapts cutting parameters to workpiece material, tool material, coating, and machining type.
Feed rates are now automatically reduced in corners and at cross-hole intersections, improving tool life and surface quality.
*Note: These features and improvements will roll out in upcoming updates. We’ll announce availability separately.
Material Removal Rate Graph
A new Material Removal Rate Graph helps users visualize and optimize volume removal per second, ensuring efficient machining without compromising part quality. These features are also integrated into ENCY Tuner for better shop-floor control.
ENCY Robot 2.0: New Features for Robot Programming
ENCY 2.0 brings major updates to offline robot programming. A new collision avoidance algorithm offers faster, more stable path planning — essential for complex robotic cells. Programming efficiency is improved without compromising safety.
The updated automatic robot axis map* simplifies multi-axis kinematics management. Robot setups, including configurations like robots on gantries, can now be defined automatically. This makes ENCY Robot even more effective for industrial automation and API-driven integration scenarios.
*Note: These features and improvements will roll out in upcoming updates. We’ll announce availability separately.
Additive Manufacturing Updates
These updates bring ENCY’s additive workflows to the same level of control and precision as its subtractive tools.
ENCY 2.0 enhances its Non-Planar Slicer with expanded support for surface models (IGES/STEP), enabling more accurate slicing and faster toolpath generation. Users can now define custom start points, shift them per layer, and apply advanced tool orientation strategies — including normals, vectors, and guide curves — for better deposition quality.
A new Minimum Layer Time setting ensures stable material curing by enforcing a time threshold per layer.
Feed control in corners, adapted from milling, helps prevent buildup and overheating during additive processes.
Infill Improvements include new patterns (lines, grid, triangles), adjustable orientation, and custom normals — allowing better control over part strength, appearance, and print behavior.
ENCY AI Process Planner: Project-Data-Driven CAM Assistance
At ENCY, AI is treated not as a trend but as a practical tool. The new AI Process Planner analyzes the 3D model and available project data to automatically generate machining operations. It’s designed to assist — not replace — engineers, speeding up routine tasks while maintaining full user control.
All processing happens locally, ensuring complete data privacy and IP protection. The AI Process Planner supports milling as well as turning, additive manufacturing, and inspection. It’s a first step toward intelligent automation that fits seamlessly into real-world CAD/CAM workflows.
ENCY Tuner 2.0: Simplifying Interpreter Configuration
ENCY Tuner 2.0 introduces a redesigned interface focused on clarity and ease of use. The biggest shift: interpreter configuration no longer requires programming skills. A new step-by-step wizard allows users to create or modify interpreters through an intuitive graphical interface.
This change significantly lowers the entry barrier for customizing G-code simulation, making the tool accessible to more users — from shop-floor specialists to support engineers — without compromising flexibility or precision.
ENCY API: Customization, Automation, and Integration
The ENCY Open API has evolved into a powerful toolkit for developers, dealers, and advanced users. Built on COM technology, it supports C#, C++, and Delphi, and comes with full documentation and ready-to-use examples on GitHub.
Users can create custom operations, modify CLData, configure interpreters, and integrate ENCY with external systems — including PLM platforms like Teamenter. From importing SVG files to building cloud-connected feeds and speeds databases, the API removes system limitations and opens new automation paths.
With a growing library of use cases, a dedicated development team, and local AI integration on the roadmap, ENCY API is becoming a central tool for extending and embedding ENCY into complex manufacturing workflows.
ENCY Hyper — General Availability
Alongside the ENCY 2.0 GA, ENCY Software’s newest solution, ENCY Hyper, is generally available to customers and partners — a hybrid robot-programming solution unifying offline simulation with real-time, multi-brand control.
