3D Print Jigs and Fixtures to Boost Manufacturing Efficiency
Jigs, fixtures, and other manufacturing aids are used by businesses internally to make manufacturing and assembly processes simpler and more reliable, reducing cycle times and improving worker safety.
They are vital tools to streamline production workflows and address common problems that arise on the factory floor.
Advances in additive manufacturing now allow for the replacement of costly machined metal jigs and fixtures with lightweight, ergonomic, and customized 3D printed tools.
This method offers a wide range of materials for practical applications.
Utilizing in-house 3D printing enables rapid and cost-effective production of manufacturing aids, enhancing speed, quality, and efficiency.
It also provides design flexibility for intricate and personalized tools, promoting continuous improvement.
By utilizing 3D printed replacement parts, operational agility is enhanced, day-to-day production problems are resolved, and machine downtime is reduced.
Watch this webinar to learn how to quickly 3D print strong, long-lasting tools with SLA and SLS 3D printers that are ready to undergo the rigor of the factory floor, from machining to assembly and inspection.
