Additive manufacturing is a cost-effective way to overcome logistical hurdles— and get you the part you need in just hours, or days. Printing any part for your manufacturing operation — like custom tooling and fixtures, spares, jigs, guides, ergonomic tools and grips. We have seen significant savings in lead time and part cost by replacing machined metal parts with continuous fiber-reinforced composites. Additive also produces a lot less material waste compared to traditional manufacturing processes, leading to reduced material costs.

3D printing tools and fixtures keeps your specialized machinists focused on revenue-generating jobs. Applications include custom end effector gripping pads for collaborative robots, custom grids for pre-machined parts to reduce changeover times, and unique subplate setups for lathes and mills. Bringing a carbon fiber composite 3D printer in-house also reduced time to manufacture tooling by 75%. In just three months, the savings from these process improvements paid for the entire printer cost.
