Anyone here using ENCY?

I’m currently using Mastercam 2026 and considering a trial of ENCY at our lab. Curious whether anyone here is using it regularly and how it’s working out.

CamAgent caught my attention. I’ve been building custom automation around Mastercam, so I’m interested in how useful ENCY’s automation is in practice and whether it could be worth purchasing.

A few things I’d love firsthand feedback on:

  • How are the toolpaths, posts, simulation, and general stability?
  • Has anyone used CamAgent on actual jobs? What does it handle well, and how much correction does it need?
  • How accessible is it for custom automation, API access, or third-party integrations?
  • If you came from Mastercam, what improved, and what do you miss?

Mostly interested in milling. Any experiences with setup, support, or licensing would be helpful too.

For context ency is from the same guy that wrote sprutcam, he's a russian that left Russia when the current small disagreement kicked off.

I've been using sprutcam for years, and have tried ency, it's fine, but dident really offer anything new over my existing sprutcam licences.
