A Hexagon Case Study
The customer, Voltomic, a company specializing in manufacturing climbing wall components, faced the challenge of a manual, inefficient production process. Needing to grow, they required a technology-focused approach to machine complex parts. To address this, they worked with vendor Hexagon and implemented their ALPHACAM software on a new 5-axis CNC machine.
Hexagon's ALPHACAM solution automated their entire production, using sophisticated 5-axis nesting to transform 3D models into CNC programs. This resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of shapes offered, from 50 to 1,500, and optimized material usage, saving up to 15 percent. The automated process also reduced machine downtime by up to 30% through the use of advanced tooling, enabling Voltomic to scale production in anticipation of future demand.
