New in ENCY 2.7: Smarter Cladding Control, Expanded Robot Support, and 120 Improvements

ENCY 2.7 expands process control for additive workflows by introducing the Power parameter in Non-planar slicing. Power is now supported in two operations: Cladding 5D and Non-planar slicing.

For better surface quality in corner regions, you can also scale power as a percentage of the nominal value when cladding in corners.

New technical-support message window. We redesigned the support message window and expanded its functionality. You can now take a screenshot from the application interface, and it is automatically attached to the file list sent to technical support.

New robots. ENCY 2.7 adds support for new robot families:

• Techman Robot, JHY, EVS, HANS Robot, HSR, FAIRINO

The robot library was also updated for:

• OMRON, ABB, AUBO, BORUNTE, Dobot, ESTUN, EFORT, Epson, uFactory

ENCY 2.7 includes a broad set of stability and correctness fixes across projects, simulation, UI, CAD import, and automation. Highlights include:

• Non-planar slicing: fixed issues with the starting tool point parameter.
• Swarf operation: fixed extend/trim passes for closed contours and the two-curve calculation method.
• Simulation: fixed saving simulation results to .stl, improved simulation performance, and fixed cases where simulation speed could trigger false collision detection.
• Projects & stability: fixed inability to restore the last saved project after an unexpected crash, and fixed issues preventing saving a project to cloud services (e.g., Microsoft OneDrive).
• Machine/axis behavior: fixed errors when working with the 4th axis in Rotary operations; fixed incorrect workpiece position detection for mill-turn machines; fixed automatic rotation of the workpiece coordinate system for Swiss type lathes.
• CAD & import: fixed CAD module errors that caused project opening problems; fixed STEP import when external borders are invalid.
• Editors & UI: fixed hotkey conflicts in Intellectual object selection on 3D models, dialogs hiding behind the main window, and multiple visual issues (including the AI Assistant window and nonstandard monitor scales). 
• Fixed freezes when repeatedly switching in the Addin Manager.
• Fixed issues in MachineMaker, fixed errors in ENCY Tuner, fixed visual issues in Feature Based Machining (FBM) settings and for Wire EDM machining.
• Installation & licensing: fixed installer issues, antivirus conflicts during installation, and license switching problems.

If you have an active software maintenance contract (SMC), ENCY 2.7 is available through the standard update channels (the system updater, or via your dealer / technical support).
