Factory production lines know the right jig or fixture speeds up production and greatly increases productivity. But that’s just the beginning. Well-designed tools are more ergonomic, offering both increased worker safety and productivity, as well as cost savings. While essential to efficiency, accuracy and safety, jigs and fixtures are often considered a necessary evil in the overall production process. Costly, protracted timelines for machined jigs and fixtures are the culprit here, especially for the often complex designs necessary to meet unique part needs. When convenience and quality come together in manufacturing, the results speak for themselves. Being able to 3D print jigs and fixtures whenever you need them reduces cost, improves safety and boosts efficiency.
