Case Study: Kalcher achieves faster, more efficient complex part production with TopSolid

Kalcher - Customer Case Study

Kalcher Maschinenbau, a Bavarian mechanical engineering firm specializing in custom machine production, faced a challenge after purchasing a high-performance mill-turn center. Their existing programming systems were inadequate, unable to fully leverage the new machine's capabilities for complex parts. To overcome this, they turned to vendor TopSolid and its integrated CAD/CAM software, implemented by Moldtech.

The solution from TopSolid provided an easy-to-operate system that was quickly adopted by Kalcher's staff after targeted training. This enabled each machine operator to write their own programs and oversee production from start to finish, significantly reducing errors. The implementation allowed Kalcher to fully exploit their machinery's potential, leading to a fuller order book and the ability to take on more complex, interesting projects. The company successfully weathered the 2008 economic crisis and continues to experience strong growth, supplying parts for top-level international sports.
