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 is 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 and Toolpath max X/Y/Z. These parameters also make it possible to include the minimum bottom machining level for an operation in the machining report.
Updated toolpath information
The toolpath sections of the machining report are updated. Work length and Working time in the report can be included.
Save as…. option in the report
The file format and save location can be selected via a standard dialog window. PDF generation without Internet connection is also supported.
SOLIDWORKS Reader Licensing Update
As of July 1, 2026, ENCY requires a separate licensed module, SOLIDWORKS Reader, for access to SOLIDWORKS file integration. Users who work with SOLIDWORKS files need this module included in their ENCY license. Read more about the SOLIDWORKS Reader licensing update here.
Usability Updates
- The smart hints system includes visual explanations for parameters in 4-axis operations, lathe operations, cladding operations, and 5D machining.
- ENCY supports smooth transitions between passes in Cladding 3D and Area cladding operations. The software uses a Bezier spline for smoothing.
- The Cladding 5D operation now includes axial and radial allowance parameters.
- The network license server application is updated with license usage statistics for a selected period. Users can view who checked out a license and when during a month. The Info, Version, Type and Status fields include detailed descriptions.
Fixes
This release includes more than 180 fixes covering ENCY stability, calculation accuracy and interface predictability.
The main changes address crashes and freezes during toolpath recalculation, simulation, operation execution, application shutdown, connection to network libraries and network license use. The release also fixes issues with opening and saving projects and importing 3D models in STEP and Parasolid formats.
Associativity with CAD systems has been updated. ENCY also fixes errors in machining toolpaths, collision visualization, step-by-step simulation, rotary strategies, NC program generation and reports. Interface fixes cover window display, the home page and pop-up elements.
