Case Study: Holm Engineering accelerates 4-axis machining and faster turnarounds with Hexagon Alphacam

Holm Engineering - Customer Case Study

Holm Engineering, a family-run UK engineering subcontractor, faced the challenge of meeting customers' increasingly quick turnaround times for producing a wide array of complex parts. Their manufacturing process was hindered by slow, inefficient programming methods until they implemented Alphacam, a CAD/CAM software solution from vendor Hexagon.

The solution from Hexagon, Alphacam, streamlined their entire programming and machining process. It allowed Holm Engineering to quickly and accurately create NC code for a diverse range of machine tools, drastically reducing programming time. A notable result was Alphacam programming a complex part in just 15 minutes, significantly faster than rival software. This efficiency enabled Holm to provide accurate quotes faster and begin machining immediately with 100% accurate programs. The software also empowered them to successfully develop their 4-axis machining capabilities, opening up new manufacturing possibilities and solidifying Alphacam as the central system governing all their machine tools.
