Jigs, Fixtures & Shop-Floor Tooling
Custom tooling for assembly, inspection and machining — at a fraction of machined-aluminum lead time.
A printed fixture is ready in days instead of weeks, weighs a third of an aluminum one and costs far less to redesign when the part changes. We print assembly jigs, drill guides, soft jaws, go/no-go gauges and inspection nests in stiff carbon-fiber nylon and PETG — priced instantly from your CAD, with written terms for repeat orders.

- Drill and tap guides, countersink and trim templates
- Soft jaws and part nests for CNC, vises and pick-and-place

PA6-CF
Stiff, tough carbon-fiber nylon — the default for most fixtures.

Good to know
Send STEP files so we keep exact datums; tell us which faces locate the part.
Press-fit hardened bushings or heat-set inserts where tools wear — we can design the holes for them.
Iterate cheaply: fit-check one in PETG, then order the run in carbon-fiber nylon.
Repeat orders keep the same file, material and settings, so every fixture matches the last one.
FAQ
How accurate are printed fixtures?+
Typical accuracy is about ±0.2 mm on small features. For tight locating features we leave stock for reaming or design in bushings, and check critical dimensions before shipping.
Will they hold up on the shop floor?+
Carbon-fiber nylon fixtures are stiff and resist oils and coolants. Very high clamping loads, cutting forces or continuous heat above about 150 °C still call for metal — we'll tell you.
Can we set up repeat orders or net terms?+
Yes. Repeat parts are re-quoted from the same file in seconds; for business accounts, see the For businesses page or email us about purchase orders.
How fast?+
2–3 business days for standard orders, then shipping. If a missing fixture has a line down, choose Emergency for next-business-day printing.
