Speed, precision and less downtime: how Decked Out Factory transformed custom EVA foam production with the MultiCam Apex3R Evo
Decked Out Factory is a U.S.-based EVA foam manufacturer producing 100% custom parts: cooler tops, truck steps, off-road and side-by-side accessories, Jeep accessories, laptop pads, and dog mats. As custom orders grew, the company's aging equipment became the constraint standing between the shop floor and the volume its customers were asking for.
Before the Apex3R Evo, Decked Out Factory ran production on two older machines, with no reliable path to parts or manufacturer support. Every rush order or one-off custom piece added risk instead of routine. "Literally, before the Apex3R Evo, it was hell. "- Ashley Kirchner, Owner, Decked Out Factory. Proximity to support was a deciding factor in what came next: having a supplier based in the U.S., with fast access to parts and shipping, was non-negotiable going into the purchase.
To have someone right here in the U.S., not that far away from us. Shipping is very quick if we need anything."
For Decked Out Factory, automatic tool changing was the single biggest reason to upgrade. The difference against their older equipment wasn't incremental, it was transformative.
The ability to have the automatic tool changing compared to our older machines that we have is insane.
Speed and cut quality closed the case. The shop can now fit fast, single-unit rush orders directly into the schedule. Work that used to compete for machine time now runs alongside standard production.
The impact showed up immediately, not just in output, but in how the team felt about coming to work. Stress tied to the two older machines dropped sharply once the Apex3R Evo was running. The learning curve was the one thing Asha expected to be a problem. It wasn't: training took about a week or two, and the team now feels comfortable bringing on new people.
If your shop is running heavy, back-to-back production and needs equipment that won't slow down, this story probably sounds familiar. See which MultiCam system is built to run as hard as your schedule demands.
