3D Printing of Production Equipment

Jigs & Fixtures

Producing custom equipment and tools can be done on site easily, quickly and cost-effectively thanks to 3D printing

Where is 3D-printed tooling used?

Assembly & installation

3D printed tools that correctly position and support parts during assembly. They ensure faster, more accurate and more consistent assembly.

Robot tooling

Lightweight grippers, holders and end tools (end-of-arm tooling) for robots. 3D printing makes complex shapes and quick adjustments possible.

Welding & cutting

Jigs and fixtures that hold parts precisely in place during welding or cutting processes for higher accuracy and repeatability.

Positioning and drilling guides

Precision tools that determine the correct position of a part and guide drilling, milling or assembly operations.

Spraying & painting

Masks, covers and holders that provide a uniform finish and prevent certain areas from being touched by paint or coating.

Quality control & measurement tools

Control tools such as measuring jigs, gauges and test fixtures that allow parts to be quickly and accurately checked for dimensions and quality.

Ergonomic workplace and production aids

3D printed handles, supports and tools that make work more comfortable and increase efficiency by allowing tools to be specifically tailored to the user and the production process.

Packaging and logistics tooling

3D printed trays, holders and inserts that allow parts to be transported safely and efficiently and optimize internal logistics.

Design your own fixture. No CAD experience required.

fixturemate is an intuitive GrabCAD Print Pro application that allows anyone - CAD knowledge or not - to quickly design a custom fixture, ready for 3D printing.

Why use 3D printing technology for jigs & fixtures?

Companies use jigs and fixtures to accurately position, support and protect parts during the manufacturing process. 3D printing produces these tools faster, more flexibly and more cost-efficiently.

Faster from design to production thanks to direct production from CAD files.
Easily make design adjustments and optimize tools in a short time.
Design ergonomic and high-performance tooling tailored to the application.
Strong, light and durable thanks to high-quality thermoplastics that can withstand industrial environments.
Biocompatible materials available for medical applications.
Multi-materials with PolyJet enable complex, custom tooling with different material properties in one print.
