3D Printing Jigs, Fixtures, and Tooling

Additive Manufacturing can produce jigs and fixtures faster and at a lower cost than traditional manufacturing methods, without sacrificing quality or performance. It can also reduce stock and the need for molds, and enable more parts to be produced on demand.

Increase productivity, save time, save money.

Utilizing additive manufacturing to create jigs, features, and tooling has the potential to produce significant savings in both time and cost. With additive manufacturing, you have the opportunity to avoid production delays when fixtures break and reduce the cost of materials and lead time.

Rapid Prototyping
Quick design iterations enable faster prototyping and testing, allowing for more efficient refinement of tools.

Customization
Additive manufacturing allows for highly customized designs tailored to specific manufacturing processes, improving ergonomics and efficiency.

Reduced Lead Times
Streamlined production processes cut down on lead times, enabling faster turnaround for manufacturing needs.

Lower Costs for Low Volumes
Additive manufacturing can be more cost-effective for small batches or one-off production compared to traditional tooling methods.

Popular Applications of Jigs, Fixtures, and Tooling

End of Arm Tooling

Additive manufacturing can significantly reduce the cost of producing end of arm tooling components. Along with reduced material waste, there are no tooling costs. Additive manufacturing also gives you the ability to customize, make design changes, and create complex geometries.

Assembly Fixtures

Production of assembly fixtures can be a very costly process that takes up a lot of time. Additive manufacturing gives you the opportunity to create assembly fixtures for a fraction of the cost, time, and resources compared to traditional manufacturing.

Composite Tooling

Composite tooling manufacturing doesn't have to take weeks or months to complete. Additive manufacturing gives you the opportunity to directly print your tools within hours. With the right filament, your 3D printed tool can withstand autoclave cure and specific environment conditions.

Brackets

Not only can you create brackets quicker and more cost-effective with additive manufacturing, but 3D printed brackets can be designed to withstand more force with wider surface areas.
