Save time, reduce cost and improve safety by making jigs, fixtures and other manufacturing tools with 3D printing.
3D printing offers a much more efficient way to create jigs and fixtures, assembly and inspection aids, end-of-arm tooling, machining soft jaws and forming dies. That’s because these tools can be printed in hours vs. days or weeks it takes with traditional fabrication methods. Jigs and fixtures manufacturing with strong thermoplastics offers a lighter alternative to metal, and 3D printing’s design freedom allows for optimal ergonomics and user-friendly tool designs.
These 3D printers represent suitable systems for jigs, fixtures and other tooling applications.
All manufacturing operations use jigs and fixtures in some form, but making them with outdated methods is costly and time consuming. As this guide shows, 3D printing offers a better alternative.
3D printed jigs and fixtures offer benefits across multiple industries.
