A Hexagon Case Study
Alpha Precision, an injection mould manufacturer based in Ireland, faced significant challenges from overseas competition and a need to operate in high-end markets. To survive and compete, the company required a state-of-the-art CAD/CAM solution that could provide a competitive edge and handle complex, precision toolmaking. They turned to vendor Hexagon and implemented its VISI software suite to address these challenges.
Hexagon's VISI provided a fully integrated solution that acted as a common language connecting all of Alpha Precision's design and machining disciplines. The software enabled a more automated process, controlled everything in a single environment, and handled all milling quickly and accurately. This resulted in the ability to produce highly polished medical parts with micron accuracy and to machine cavities in one night that would previously take a week, giving the company a decisive competitive advantage in high-end markets.
