A family business built on precision
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.
The competitiveness challenge
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.
We wouldn’t be competitive in the market in terms of programming speed and nesting.

Without the right solution, the company knew it would struggle to keep up with the competition.
Almacam: discovered by chance, embraced from day one
Mecatall 300 had no previous experience with any other CAM software. A simple internet search led the company to Almacam.
There was no lengthy selection process, no comparison with other solutions. From the first exchanges, Mecatall 300 knew Almacam was the right fit, and trust in the Alma Iberica team came just as quickly. Implementation followed at the same pace: fast, with immediate adoption and visible results from the very first uses, without any real adjustment period:
It was a major change from day one, both in production and in terms of speed
For a company accustomed to working around the limitations of its tools, this rapid transformation was enough to convince the team that adopting Almacam Cut had been the right decision.
What changed on the shop floor
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:
Better production in terms of part placement, faster programming, and better tracking of parts and nesting jobs.
Taken together, these tangible improvements have given Mecatall 300 the flexibility it needs to meet its delivery commitments.
When the quality of support build trust
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:
The Alma Iberica team are wonderful people. They always do everything they can to help us, and even go beyond that. We’re very happy with them.
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.
The verdict
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:
I would recommend Almacam without a second thought.
