ENCY Software Unveils Update 1.0.4 for Its CAD/CAM/OLP Solutions

This update introduces numerous new features for ENCY users, with particular focus from the developers on enhancing MachineMaker and ENCY Clouds.

1. Radial Stock and Axial Stock in the “Impeller Machining” Operation

The “Impeller Machining” operation now features separate Radial and Axial stock (Stock to leave) parameters, allowing users greater flexibility in defining machining parameters. Negative values are supported.

2. New Auxiliary Geometry Icon Design

In any operation’s Job Assignment, users can construct auxiliary geometry. To access the auxiliary geometry menu, ensure Geometry Model visibility is enabled.

3. Improved Job Assignment for the “Swarf” Operation

The Swarf operation now supports Job Assignments based on two curves, which is especially useful for parts with interruptions like holes.

4. New Parameters for Additive Operations

Additive operations now include two new parameters: “Minimum layer time” and “Lift head”:

• Minimum Layer Time specifies the minimum time (in seconds) required to print a single layer. This ensures that the material has adequate time to cool before the next layer is applied, improving print quality.
• Lift head allows the extruder to retract by a specified distance. The retraction occurs normal to the last point of the layer and then returns to the same point to continue printing. After retraction, the previous feed rate is reactivated, and the printing process resumes as normal.

Other Improvements:

• A scroll bar has been added to the Visual Machine Properties window for more convenient handling of equipment configurations containing 15 or more parameters.
• Improved the performance of the Machining Report feature.
• Added support for SCARA robot kinematics.
• In ENCY Tuner, the flag for a new operation is now set on the first G53 command before the tool is called.
• Updated smart hints for several operations.

What’s New in ENCY MachineMaker:

• Added support for ABB IRB5510/12 robots, featuring specific kinematics of the 5th axis.
• Positioners in cells designed in MachineMaker can now be enabled or disabled in ENCY Robot on the Setup tab.
• Special characters are now allowed in robot names.
• Users can explicitly name Tool nodes, which is helpful during post-processor debugging.

What’s New in ENCY Clouds:

• ENCY Clouds App is now available on the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ency-clouds/id6737194140
• One-Click Registration and Login: Seamless sign-up and authorization using Apple ID.
• Cross-Platform Accessibility: Access ENCY Clouds through mobile apps, ENCY products, and browser-based interfaces.
• Image Pasting in Browser: Easily paste images directly from the clipboard using Ctrl+V.
• Open Projects with ENCY: Use the “Open With ENCY” button in the browser to load projects directly into ENCY without manual downloads.
• 3D Model Preview: Both the app and browser support the preview of large 3D model files.

Bug Fixes

In addition to new features, update 1.0.4 comes with numerous fixes that address known issues, ensuring a more stable and seamless user experience.

These enhancements reinforce ENCY’s dedication to delivering high-performance solutions that meet the evolving needs of users of CAD/CAM and offline programming (OLP) solutions across various industries.

Note: The 1.0.4 update is available to all users with an active annual support contract (SMC).
