Production lines lose money standing still. We print locating fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, gauges and obsolete line spares overnight, so a changeover or a breakdown does not wait on a machine shop queue.
Printed fixtures bypass the internal shop queue entirely — upload today, fit tomorrow.
Whole fixture sets print in one batch job, so a line changeover lands on its planned date.
Measure, reconstruct and print — no minimum order, no OEM lead time.
Tough, low-warp workhorse for fixture bodies.
Rigid locating inserts that hold their datum.
Oil, solvent and heat exposure near machinery.
