LIMASSOL, Cyprus, Nov 10, 2026 – ENCY has released ENCY 3.2, adding reusable tooling configurations to reduce repetitive project setup and new controls for finishing and fixture-aware face milling. The update also includes improvements to robotic machining, sheet cutting and project handling.
Programmers can save a complete tool set in assembly mode and reuse it across machining projects instead of rebuilding the configuration for each job. When multiple operations share a tool, changes to its magazine position or adapter apply across those operations, eliminating separate edits. A component panel displays occupied and available tool magazine pockets.
ENCY 3.2 also introduces drag-and-snap positioning for clamps. As users move a clamp toward the stock, machine table or fixture plate, the software highlights suitable placement levels and snaps it into position, reducing manual entry.
Finishing and Face Milling Improvements
In Combo Finish, programmers can specify scallop height to control the spacing between finishing passes. This provides a geometric limit for balancing surface finish requirements against machining time.
Roughing Waterline uses scallop height to distribute intermediate machining levels according to tool geometry. It places levels closer together on shallow slopes while avoiding unnecessary levels on vertical walls, helping control the material left for subsequent finishing.
Programmers can also complete one surface region before moving to the next without duplicating the operation, simplify adjustments to the machining sequence.
Face Milling now accounts for part and fixture geometry when calculating machining passes. Instead of generating a route around fixtures, it trims affected passes and uses a clearance plane above clamps for transfer moves. The operation also reduces unnecessary air passes over previously removed material when using a zigzag pattern.
Robotic Machining and Sheet Cutting
ENCY 3.2 improves feature recognition in 6D Contouring to help programmers define robotic trimming and spatial contouring operations. Supported cladding operations also gain passes across the processing zone.
For sheet cutting, the Nesting function displays the dimensions of reusable sheet remnants, helping programmers assess material available for subsequent jobs. Undo and Redo functions also cover parameter changes, allowing users to test layout settings and restore results.
Other changes include faster project opening, improvements to the feeds and speeds calculator, and fixes involving toolpath calculation, simulation, project handling and robotic machining.
ENCY 3.2 is available through the built-in updater for customers with an active Software Maintenance Contract.
