Case Study: Omega Enterprises halves cycle times with Hexagon PrimeScan and EDGECAM

How a glass bottle mould manufacturer saved significant time and costs with structured light scanning and CAD CAM machining software

Omega Enterprises, a family-run glass bottle mould manufacturer in Indiana, faced significant bottlenecks in its process. Manually tracing and duplicating intricate mould designs was time-consuming and costly, especially for parts modified by hand at customer facilities. To innovate, they turned to vendor Hexagon for a solution.

Hexagon provided its PrimeScan structured light scanner and advanced EDGECAM CAD/CAM software. This combination allowed Omega to quickly create high-quality 3D scans of parts and generate machine paths directly from the scan data, eliminating the need for manual reverse engineering. As a result, Hexagon's solution helped Omega reduce cycle times by up to 50%, cutting a 40-hour job down to 20 hours, and significantly improved the shop's competitiveness.
