01
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.
◆ Production scenario · Industrial
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.
02 — What it actually costs
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.
- 01
Dimensional drift between batches silently invalidates every part produced against the fixture
- 02
A cracked jig stops a line that was planned around it
- 03
Without lot data, a quality issue cannot be traced back to a material batch
03 — Why it happens
The mechanism, not the symptom
02
Stiffness beats raw tensile
A jig that deflects under clamp load fails regardless of how strong the material is in a tensile test.
03
Traceability shortens downtime
When a fixture problem appears, a batch number turns a line-wide investigation into a single lot check.
04 — What we hold for you
Levers you can actually pull
Stiffness-oriented grades
Carbon-fibre reinforced PETG and ASA for parts that must resist deflection.
We provide A grade recommendation based on your clamp loads and environment
View material ↗Laser diameter control
Every spool measured in-line to ±0.03mm during extrusion.
We provide Consistent extrusion so fixture dimensions repeat between lots
View material ↗Lot-level CoA
Measured diameter, moisture and batch number on every lot.
We provide 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
