Streamlining Custom Carpentry with TopSolid’Wood at Enk?pings Snickeri

Enk?pings Snickeri AB, established in 1974, offers carpentry services ranging from fine woodworking to larger projects such as stairs and kitchens. Serving both private customers and businesses, the company has built a solid customer base by focusing on quality and flexibility. With five employees, the company integrated TopSolid’Wood into its operations in 2017 to enhance its design processes and improve production capacity.

The Need to Optimize Design and Production Workflow

Before adopting TopSolid’Wood, Enk?pings Snickeri relied on manual drafting and basic 2D CAD tools. This led to challenges in maintaining quality and efficiency, particularly when design changes were needed. The company recognized the need to transition from 2D CAD to 3D CAD to better visualize projects and streamline both design and production workflows. The ability to control CNC machines directly through the CAD solution was a decisive factor in the decision.

TopSolid’Wood Quickly Became an Indispensable Tool

After exploring various solutions, the company chose TopSolid’Wood, a tailored software solution with specialized features for the furniture and interior design industry. The implementation of TopSolid’Wood at Enk?pings Snickeri was carried out gradually, and it quickly became an invaluable tool for both design and production.

“By using the software to design and manufacture custom interiors, furniture, reception desks, and bookshelves, we could create an automated and cohesive process from design to the finished product.”– Anders Lindell, Owner of Enk?pings Snickeri AB.

Features like 3D design and built-in tools within the software have significantly boosted productivity, ensuring that all components fit perfectly and minimizing the need for corrections.

Significant Time and Cost Savings

The implementation of TopSolid’Wood has resulted in approximately 30% time savings per project compared to previous workflows.

“The time savings occur mainly in production since the design documentation is always accurate. This means we don’t need to solve design problems during production—we already know how everything should be manufactured from the start, which also results in lower material costs.”– Anders Lindell, Owner of Enk?pings Snickeri AB.

One specific example is the automation of mortise holes, where both panels are now generated simultaneously—a process that was previously time-consuming and error-prone when design changes were made. Lindell concludes that the benefits of TopSolid’Wood are indispensable for continuing to deliver high-quality, custom solutions to their customers.
