MECATALL 300: Winning the race against lead times with Almacam

In Sabadell, near Barcelona in Spain, Mecatall 300 has been manufacturing metal parts since 2015. With a team of 8 people and a 3 kW dual-table fiber HSG laser machine designed to keep cutting without interruption, the small company primarily serves the food processing industry, where there is virtually no room for error.

From consulting and machining to assembly and transportation, Mecatall 300 has built its reputation on providing a comprehensive service. But offering a complete service is no longer enough when programming itself becomes a bottleneck.

In a market where lead times are getting shorter, programming had become the weak link of Mecatall 300. Staying competitive required software capable of keeping pace. Without the right solution, the company knew it would struggle to keep up with the competition.

Mecatall 300 had no previous experience with any other CAM software. A simple internet search led the company to Almacam.
From the very first discussions, Mecatall 300 recognized that Almacam met their needs, both in terms of software capabilities and technical expertise. The confidence they quickly developed in the Alma Ibérica team further reinforced their decision.
The implementation was equally smooth, with quick adoption and tangible results from the very first uses, without a lengthy adjustment period.

For a company used to working around the limitations of its tools, seeing such immediate improvements confirmed that choosing Almacam 2D was the right decision.

The benefits can now be seen across several areas of day-to-day operations. On the shop floor, better part placement on sheets helps reduce scrap and optimize raw material usage. In the engineering department of Mecatall, faster programming frees up time to focus on higher-value projects. And between programming and cutting, improved monitoring ensures that nothing falls through the cracks, with clear visibility into the progress of every nesting job:

Taken together, these tangible improvements have given Mecatall 300 the flexibility it needs to meet its delivery commitments.

Beyond the software itself, the human relationship has also made a real difference.

A powerful tool is not enough without responsive, committed support and that is exactly what the Mecatall 300 team found with the Alma Iberica team. Their support goes far beyond traditional technical assistance, and it shows in every conversation:

This close relationship, combined with genuine responsiveness, has proven just as important to the success of the project as the performance of the software itself.

For Mecatall 300, the results speak for themselves. The company has gained speed, precision, and peace of mind, and now recommends Almacam software without hesitation to other companies in the industry facing the same pressure to meet increasingly demanding lead times:
