OUR SERVICES

How We Can Help

  • Prototype Development

    Create physical prototypes to review shape, handling and design intent before moving forward.

  • Fit & Assembly Checks

    Evaluate how a proposed component fits with surrounding parts and identify changes before production.

  • Custom Fixture Components

    Explore printed locating aids, holders and fixture components around your application. Suitability depends on the loads, environment and inspection requirements.

  • CAD & Print Preparation

    Review available CAD files, part geometry and intended use to define a practical printing scope. Where design data is missing, discuss reverse engineering support.

WHEN TO BRING US IN

Move Your Design Forward.

  • You need a physical prototype to review before production.
  • A component needs a fit check or design revision.
  • Your team needs a custom manufacturing aid or fixture component.

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Start With the Application.

  • Intended use and operating environment
  • Part dimensions, quantity and critical features
  • Material, finish and strength requirements
  • Target schedule and assembly interfaces

WHAT TO SEND

Help Us Define the Scope.

  • Available CAD or STL files
  • Drawings, photos or an existing part
  • Required tolerances and fit expectations
  • Any post-processing or inspection needs

We review the printing approach, material options, achievable tolerances and delivery requirements before confirming the quote.

Questions Before You Get Started

What information helps define a custom fixture?

Share the part drawing or CAD model, the operation the fixture will support and how the part must be located and held. Include loading access, part variations, contact restrictions and any existing tooling interfaces. Inspection fixtures and production fixtures may have different priorities. A clear description of the intended workflow helps connect the physical design to the manufacturing or measurement task.

How can measurement support fixture development?

Dimensional measurement can help review selected locating features and the relationship between tooling components during a fixture project. The inspection scope should identify the features that matter, their reference system and the criteria used for evaluation. Coordinating fabrication and measurement support gives the engineering team a practical way to discuss geometry while tooling work progresses.

What should we consider beyond part fit?

Think about operator access, loading and unloading, clamp clearance, repeatable positioning and access for the intended measurement equipment. The fixture also needs to work within the surrounding process and available space. Share photographs of the work area and explain any access or handling constraints. These details help identify design considerations that may not be obvious from a part model alone.
