ENCY 3.0 CAD/CAM and robot programming software debuts

Cyprus-based CAD/CAM technology developer ENCY Software announced the launch of ENCY 3.0 at the company’s conference in July 2026.

Presented by ENCY Software CEO Andrei Kharatsidi, the company said that the next-generation platform introduced the next major generation of ENCY for CNC machine programming and industrial robot programming.

CAM automation and AI-assisted workflows

ENCY Software said that one of the new directions in ENCY 3.0 is CAM automation. A new macros engine allows users to record and reuse actions inside the software, automate typical operations, define editable parameters, and build more advanced automation workflows manually, through scripts, or with the help of AI coding tools.

The company said that another important direction is AI-assisted CAM. ENCY Software stated that in ENCY 3.0, the platform will take the first steps toward more intelligent CAM workflows, assisting with cost estimation, project troubleshooting, guided learning, feature recognition, and programming setup.

In practice, the company stated that this means less time spent getting stuck, allowing users to identify and resolve errors faster, understand what caused them, receive guidance directly within the workflow, and avoid repeating the same manual steps repeatedly.

ENCY CAD/CAM: Realistic tools, cleaner toolpaths, advanced manufacturing

For CNC programming, the company said that one of the central updates in ENCY 3.0 will be a new tool assembly system for building and managing realistic tool assemblies with holders, adapters, cutting inserts and other components.

ENCY Software said that this matters in real production. When the software works with accurate tool and holder geometry, simulation becomes more realistic and collision checking becomes more reliable. The company said that programmers can better understand what will happen on the machine before the program reaches the shop floor.

Another major update in ENCY 3.0 is 3D Surfacing, which the company said is a new universal operation for 3-axis finishing. It will combine Plane, Waterline, Scallop, and combined finishing strategies in one workflow. The company said that this will help programmers machine steep and shallow areas with fewer transitions, cleaner toolpaths and fewer manual corrections.

Auto Check Holder is designed to automatically tilt the tool when avoiding holder collisions. Feeds and Speeds will help calculate cutting conditions based on the tool, material, and machining method. Instead of starting from manual lookup or guesswork, ENCY Software said that programmers will be able to work from built-in cutting data and grow their own shop libraries over time.

The company added that ENCY 3.0 will also extend support for high-end and advanced manufacturing tasks. Blade Machining will support complex 5-axis work on blades, impellers and bladed disks. Swarf machining will provide cleaner 5-axis finishing of side surfaces and complex walls.

ENCY Software said that additive and hybrid manufacturing workflows are another part of this direction. Planar, non-planar and radial slicing will help generate deposition paths for complex parts, including rings, sleeves, shells, blades and helical surfaces.

ENCY Robot: Complex cells with less manual setup

In ENCY Robot 3.0, the company said that one of the key directions will be SmartMotion with Auto Axis Map for complex robotic cells with additional axes.

ENCY Software said that this technology helps calculate the motion of the robot, linear axes, rotary axes and moving workpiece as one connected system. For integrators, the company said that this means less manual motion setup, reduced risk of collisions and singularities, and a faster path from the model to a working robot trajectory.

ENCY 3.0 will also expand laser cutting capabilities for both CNC machines and industrial robots. These improvements cover both CNC and robotic laser cutting, including automatic recognition of typical cutting features, interactive editing of geometry and tool vectors, support generation and easier toolpath preparation.

A more connected ENCY workflow

Beyond individual features, the company said that ENCY 3.0 continues the broader ENCY X ecosystem - ENCY Software’s approach to connecting CNC programming, robot programming, shop-floor verification, cloud collaboration and AI-assisted workflows into a more connected ENCY environment.

ENCY Tuner will continue to develop as a shop-floor tool for NC code simulation and editing, including multichannel simulation. ENCY Clouds will support faster collaboration, technical support, project sharing, web toolpath preview, and mobile access.
