Stop renting
your CAM.
Own it.
Real CAM in Fusion 360 costs $680 + $1,465 = $2,145/yr, forever.
ENCY: perpetual license, paid in installments sized to your Fusion seat.
Switching? Special pricing + free year of ENCY Tuner.
price history
real CAM now upsold
Sound familiar?
What CNC operators are actually saying on the forums — pulled verbatim, sources linked.
Production-grade CAM. No bundle tax.
Professional, production-grade CAM — built for shops that have outgrown Fusion's bundle. Full multi-axis, machine-aware toolpath calculation and simulation, no extension upsells.
Perpetual, paid in installments
Quarterly or annual installments sized to your Fusion seat — cash flow stays flat, then the line item ends. Switcher pricing on the upfront.
Optional, fraction of Fusion's rent
Covers updates and support. Skip it: your software keeps running on the version you own. Resume anytime.
Your files, your choice
Cloud workflow when you want it, fully local when you don't. No lock-in, no phoning home.
ENCY vs Fusion 360
The differences that matter to CNC programmers and shop owners — no fluff.
Comparison based on publicly available Autodesk pricing and documentation as of 2025–2026. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Transitioning from Fusion to ENCY.
Two things have to land: (1) your accumulated Fusion NC code doesn't get thrown away, and (2) your team stands up without losing weeks.
Keep your NC code
ENCY Tuner is shop-floor NC-code simulation software. Bring the G-code your Fusion projects already post out — simulate, edit, re-engineer it in ENCY. No CAD-project import; the proven program moves at the G-code layer.
Pull the program off the machine
Tuner ingests post-processed G-code from Fusion, Mastercam, anything. No rebuild required.
Machine-aware verification
Real kinematics, real tool, real fixture. Catch collisions before the spindle starts.
Tweak without rebuilding
Fix entries, adjust feeds, re-engineer toolpaths, post out again. The proven part stays proven.
Stand up your team
Short learning curve by design. UI built for CNC programmers; ENCY Academy for structured training, on-demand.
Structured courses, on-demand
CAM, multi-axis, simulation, Tuner. Certifications when ready.
On your schedule
No instructor lockstep. Programmers ramp between jobs.
Intuitive, visual, interactive
Controls where you expect them. Toolpaths and simulation are first-class citizens, not modal upsells.
Common questions.
What is ENCY, and why haven't I heard of it? +
ENCY is an independent professional CAD/CAM system — not a hobbyist suite, not a side product of a giant. It's been used in production for years across European industrial shops; we're only now scaling into the US market, which is why it's new to most American CNC programmers. The product family is ENCY CAM (full multi-axis CAM with machine-aware simulation) and ENCY Tuner (shop-floor NC-code simulation and re-engineering). Built by a CAM-only team, not a consumer-cloud company.
How does ENCY licensing actually work? +
Three paths: pay perpetual up front, spread it over quarterly/annual installments, or run on subscription. Most switchers pick installments — at the end, the license is yours and the line item ends.
Will my cash flow change if I switch? +
Designed not to. Installments are sized to what you already pay Autodesk on the same cadence. When the plan ends, payments end — with Fusion they never do.
Why isn't there a price tag on this page? +
ENCY ships as modules. We configure around what your shop actually uses — machines, axis counts, post-processors, team size. Talk to us for ten minutes and we'll quote a real number against $2,145.
What is maintenance, and what if I don't pay it? +
Optional annual fee (a fraction of Fusion's yearly rent) for updates and support. Skip it: your installed version keeps running. Resume anytime.
Can I import my Fusion 360 projects directly? +
No native CAD-project import — we won't pretend. Bring the G-code via ENCY Tuner instead, and the proven jobs come across. Tuner is free for the first year for Fusion switchers.
Does ENCY support 5-axis machining? +
Yes — 3-, 4-, and 5-axis included in the core license, with machine-aware simulation. No "Manufacturing Extension" upsell.
Does ENCY force me into the cloud? +
No. Cloud workflow if you want, fully local if you don't. The app runs without an internet connection.
How is the license enforced? Do I need to be online? +
Account or USB dongle — your pick. Either way ENCY runs fully offline. No phoning home.
What's the trial? +
Free, no credit card. Then installment pricing — your call.
Does ENCY do robots, too? +
Yes — beyond CAM, ENCY's product family extends into industrial robot programming and other manufacturing software. This page focuses on the CAM switch from Fusion, but if you run robots or want to see the full lineup, head to encycam.com for the rest of what we make.
Pay it down.
Then run CAM forever.
Take the free trial, run ENCY on a real part from your own backlog, and decide if you ever want to renew Fusion + Manufacturing Extension again.
