ENCY Software has released version 2.9 of ENCY, its CAD/CAM system, and ENCY Robot. This update brings improvements to machining reports, operation statistics, and license administration, along with bug fixes and workflow enhancements. Material statistics for the machining result The operation status window now shows the current Machining result volume in cm³, the Removed volume, and the Volume removal rate. For example, for the selected operation, the removed volume is 66.576 cm³ with a volume removal rate of 18.183 cm³/min. This gives a current workpiece volume of 1669.195 cm³ after machining in this operation. In other words, the operation removes about 4% of the workpiece volume in about 4 minutes. This data is also available through the API. New parameters in the machining report Tool changes count A new Tool changes count parameter has been added for the machine, setup, or part. Minimum bottom machining level A new group of tool parameters has been added for operations: Toolpath min X/Y/Z

TECHNIA, the leading knowledge provider in Virtual Twin solutions and digital engineering, has announced a collaborative feasibility study with Parabolica Racing and Dassault Systèmes to explore how digital engineering technologies can support the preservation, restoration, and reproduction of historic motorsport components. Parabolica Racing, founded by former Formula 1 engineer Ernest Knoors, specializes in restoring and racing historic motorsport machinery to the highest standards of authenticity. Maintaining these vehicles often requires reproducing components that are no longer manufactured, using source information that rarely exists in a usable digital format. The collaboration brings together Parabolica Racing's motorsport expertise, TECHNIA's digital engineering knowledge, and Dassault Systèmes' Virtual Twin technologies to evaluate a modern workflow for converting legacy information into reusable digital models. The initiative investigates how parametric 3D modeling, digital continuity, and AI-assisted workflows can help transform aging 2D drawings, scanned documents, and physical parts into 3D manufacturing-ready digital assets. The goal is to improve accuracy, repeatability,

MongoDB, Inc. announced new capabilities at MongoDB.local Bengaluru that address the two reasons enterprise AI projects routinely stall before production: retrieval that isn't accurate enough to trust and infrastructure that can't meet compliance requirements. voyage-context-4, Hybrid Search, and Native Reranking work together to improve retrieval accuracy, with Native Reranking alone improving retrieval quality by up to 30%*. The capabilities are powered by Voyage AI models that outperform Google and Cohere on the public Retrieval Embedding Benchmark leaderboard. Search and Vector Search are now generally available for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced and Community Edition, bringing the same retrieval capabilities Atlas customers rely on to on-premises, private cloud, and local environments where regulated enterprises and startups operate. Together, these capabilities give enterprises and builders a production-ready retrieval stack that is accurate, compliant, and deployable wherever their data lives. “The biggest barrier to enterprise AI in production and at scale isn’t the LLM. It’s memory, retrieval,
