EnRoute Plus: The professional solution for all your 2D or 2.5D projects.

EnRoute Design: Perfect complementary software for those who require multiple designers working together without the need to export files to production.

EnRoute Fabrication: Tailored for waterjet, plasma, and laser CNC machines, providing the precise control required for high-quality production.

EnRoute for Flexi: A specialized version targeting Flexi users, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced capabilities.

Each product version has specific new features available, ensuring tailored solutions for diverse user needs.

Unveiling the Future of CNC Machining:

1. Advanced Threading Toolpath

Our new tool type and toolpath for cutting threads allows users to apply thread toolpaths similarly to “drill centers,” enabling the application of threads to multiple geometries simultaneously, significantly streamlining the machining process.

2. Optimized Toolpath Ordering

With the new “Order by Entry/Pierce” parameter, toolpath sequencing is enhanced by allowing users to order entries into the material, even within larger toolpath groups. This ensures more efficient and organized cutting operations.

3. Enhanced Plate Tool Bar Functionality

When nesting files across one or multiple plates, the option to “maintain layers” is now checked by default. This ensures that objects and their associated toolpaths remain on their respective layers post-nesting, preserving the integrity of the design.

4. Intuitive Entry/Exit Editing

Users can now effortlessly edit the size and angle of entry/exit objects by simply clicking and dragging, providing greater flexibility and control over toolpaths.

5. Double-Sided Machining Capabilities

Support for double-sided machining includes options to choose flip direction, dowel hole type, and dowel size. This feature facilitates accurate positioning of jobs when flipping over materials, enhancing the precision of complex projects.

6. Trim and Extend by Length

The ability to trim and extend contours by a set length has been re-enabled, offering users more control over contour modifications.

7. Individual Output File Generation

For users without automatic tool changers, the latest EnRoute software offers the option to automatically create output files for each tool used. The tool name will be appended to the output file name, simplifying file management.

8. Snap to Point in Point-Editing Mode

The new snap-to-point functionality in point-editing mode improves accuracy when editing contours, ensuring precise modifications.

9. Comprehensive PDF Reports on Output

Generate detailed PDF reports during output, complete with cut time estimation, tool lists, barcodes, and print previews of plates, providing a comprehensive overview of each job.

10. Entry/Exit and Bridge Position Maintenance Post-Scaling

Users can now maintain the relative position of entry/exit and bridges on toolpaths when scaling, preventing recalculations that reset these positions.

11. Improved Kerf Compensation

The corner entry/exit will now default to the sharpest corner of the geometry, optimizing kerf toolpath placements for superior cutting results.

12. Fixed Output Location for Label Images

Users can set a fixed output path for label images generated with ATP, ensuring consistent and organized file management.

13. Layer Name Placeholder on Labels

A new placeholder for layer names has been added to labels, enhancing clarity and organization.

14. XY Guidelines at the origin on Plate Creation

An option to create XY-guidelines at the origin of the plate upon creation has been added, facilitating precise alignment and setup.

15. Drag-and-Drop File Opening

Users can now open ER files by simply dragging and dropping them into EnRoute, streamlining the workflow.

16. Hot Folder Export as Layered DXF

Designs can be sent to a hot folder as layered DXF files, enhancing compatibility and flexibility in file management.

17. Right-Click Menu Enhancements

The ability to edit entry/exit and bridges has been added to the right-click menu when targeting a toolpath, simplifying adjustments and modifications.

18. Manual Kerf Width Entry

Users can manually enter kerf widths without needing a specific tool set up in the library, providing greater flexibility in toolpath creation.

19. Integrated Post-Processor Options

Post-processor options are now available within the Output window of the automated tool pathing module, enhancing customization and output control.

Conclusion

The latest EnRoute software represents a significant leap forward in CNC machining software, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and enhancements designed to boost efficiency, precision, and ease of use. We invite our users to explore the new features and experience the unparalleled performance of the latest EnRoute software.
