Case Study: Tomasz Valentine Ltd achieves fast, accurate door routing and better profitability with Hexagon Alphacam

Tomasz Valentine Ltd - Customer Case Study

Tomasz Valentine Ltd, a UK-based joinery company, sought to develop a highly efficient and accurate horizontal routing service for doors and door linings. Their challenge was to move away from a slow, manual process and establish a unique, fast-turnaround subcontracting service that could compete in their niche market. To achieve this, they turned to the vendor Hexagon and its software, Alphacam, to automate and program their CNC routing operations.

By implementing Hexagon's Alphacam software, the company automated the programming and machining of door hardware recesses, reducing the time per door from 45 minutes by hand to just 5 minutes on the CNC router. This solution provided pinpoint accuracy for their horizontal routing and enabled a rapid two-to-four-day nationwide turnaround. The measurable impact was profound: the company can now produce 60 doors in an eight-hour shift with guaranteed accuracy, a volume that would be impossible manually. Owner Sylwester Przybylski states that Alphacam is fundamental to their business, making them highly competitive and profitable, to the point that "without Alphacam, we wouldn't have a business at all."
