The release of ENCY 2.9 by ENCY Software on July 3, 2026, marks a significant update in the CAD/CAM landscape, offering enhanced machining reports, improved operation statistics, and more precise license tracking. For manufacturers, this development brings critical improvements that promise to streamline operations and optimize resource management.
What Happened
ENCY Software, based in Limassol, Cyprus, has rolled out version 2.9 of its CAD/CAM system, ENCY, and ENCY Robot. This update is packed with features designed to provide users with richer data and improved usability. The latest version introduces detailed material statistics, such as the current machining result volume, removed volume, and volume removal rate, with API access for seamless integration into existing systems. For instance, a recent operation showed a removed volume of 66.576 cm³ at a rate of 18.183 cm³/min, indicating a 4% reduction in workpiece volume within approximately four minutes.
The update also includes new parameters in machining reports, such as the tool changes count and minimum bottom machining level. These additions allow for more granular monitoring and reporting, which are crucial for maintaining precision and efficiency in manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the toolpath information has been enhanced, enabling users to document work length and working time, and providing the flexibility to save reports in various formats, including PDFs, without requiring an internet connection.
A notable change is the introduction of the SOLIDWORKS Reader licensing module, which began on July 1, 2026. This module is now necessary for users who need to integrate SOLIDWORKS files within ENCY, highlighting the importance of staying updated with licensing requirements to ensure uninterrupted workflow.
What This Means for Your Business
For businesses in the manufacturing sector, these updates translate to several competitive advantages. The enhanced data capture and reporting capabilities mean improved accuracy and efficiency in machining operations, potentially leading to cost savings and better resource allocation. The new licensing module for SOLIDWORKS integration underscores the importance of compliance with software licensing to avoid disruptions.
Moreover, the usability improvements, such as the updated smart hints system and smoother cladding transitions, contribute to reduced training times and increased productivity. With over 180 fixes aimed at improving system stability and predictability, ENCY 2.9 offers a more reliable platform for manufacturers looking to streamline their CAD/CAM processes.
What US Operators Should Watch
Manufacturers should pay close attention to the new licensing requirements for the SOLIDWORKS Reader module, effective from July 1, 2026. Ensuring compliance with these requirements will be critical to maintaining access to essential CAD/CAM functionalities. Additionally, keeping abreast of updates to the network license server application will help in effectively managing and auditing license usage, which is vital for optimizing software investments.
As these changes take hold, operators should also monitor how these enhancements can be leveraged to improve operational efficiencies and competitive positioning in the industry.
