3D printed assembly fixtures streamline production because they’re faster to make and easier to handle than heavier, metal tools. They can be easily optimized for the specific task and the user’s capabilities. FDM thermoplastics provide durable characteristics for these kinds of fixtures although other Stratasys additive technologies such as SAF, P3, and Stereolithography offer capable materials as well.
Streamline production by making new assembly fixtures in hours instead of weeks. 3D printing lets you iterate quickly to optimise your tool’s design. FDM technology includes a broad range of strong thermoplastics so you can choose the right material for the job.
Create tools that are easier to work with to increase task efficiency and comfort. Strong but lightweight materials reduce tool weight, making them easier to lift and manoeuvre.
Avoid production delays when existing fixtures break by quickly printing new ones on-demand. 3D printing also avoids the material and lead time costs of machined tooling.
