Production Scenario

Fixtures that hold tolerance after weeks on the floor

Stiff grades with laser-verified diameter and batch documentation, so a fixture behaves the same in month three as on day one.

Carbon Fiber PETGASAPETG
The Real Cost

A printed fixture that creeps, cracks or loses tolerance is worse than no fixture at all, because the line keeps running against a reference that has quietly moved.

  • Dimensional drift between batches silently invalidates every part produced against the fixture
  • A cracked jig stops a line that was planned around it
  • Without lot data, a quality issue cannot be traced back to a material batch
Perspective Shift

What the best operators do differently

Fixtures are metrology, not tooling

Anything used to hold or check a part becomes part of the measurement chain. Its stability matters more than its strength.

Stiffness beats raw tensile

A jig that deflects under clamp load fails regardless of how strong the material is in a tensile test.

Traceability shortens downtime

When a fixture problem appears, a batch number turns a line-wide investigation into a single lot check.

Your Toolkit

What we put in your hands

01

Stiffness-oriented grades

Carbon-fibre reinforced PETG and ASA for parts that must resist deflection.

What you get

A grade recommendation based on your clamp loads and environment

02

Laser diameter control

Every spool measured in-line to ±0.03mm at 500 samples per second.

What you get

Consistent extrusion so fixture dimensions repeat between lots

03

Lot-level CoA

Measured diameter, moisture and batch number on every lot.

What you get

A traceable record for every fixture you print

The Challenge

Manufacturing jigs and fixtures are put-and-forget investments. Once you’ve integrated a printed jig into a production workflow, it needs to survive daily use, temperature variation, and occasional chemical exposure — for months, not weeks. Standard PLA fails here within days. The cost of jig failure isn’t the reprint — it’s the 4-hour line stoppage that follows.

What You Get

  • ±0.03mm tolerance guarantee — per-spool CoA with diameter and ovality data
  • Temperature-grade materials — PETG (80°C), ASA (100°C+), with thermal parameter guides
  • Shop-floor validated parameters — pre-tested print settings for common industrial printers
  • Bulk spool program — dedicated spool supply for high-volume jig production runs
