Case Study: Allwood Architectural Joinery slashes CNC programming time with Hexagon ALPHACAM

ALPHACAM slashes Allwood Architectural Joinery’s manufacturing process for CNC, from a day to an hour

Allwood Architectural Joinery, a family-run architectural joinery business, faced challenges in efficiently programming its CNC machinery to remain competitive, especially after diversifying its services during an economic recession. The manual programming process was prohibitively time-consuming.

Hexagon's ALPHACAM software, specifically its Automation Manager, was implemented to automate the programming for Allwood's 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machines. The solution from Hexagon revolutionized their production, slashing the time to prepare a typical kitchen for CNC machining from a full day down to just one hour or less. This dramatic time savings allowed Allwood to grow, control its processes, and undertake large-scale projects for major commercial clients.
