Customized Plastic 3D Printing Fixture
The fixture is a tool that guides the cutting or machining tool to perform specific operations, while maintaining and supporting the workpiece. For example, the most common jig type, it guides the drill bit to the required position. Fixture is also called fixture. In a broad sense, any process in the process, the device used to install the workpiece quickly, conveniently and safely, can be called fixture. Such as welding fixture, inspection fixture, assembly fixture, machine tool fixture, etc. There are many kinds of processes for the production of fixture, of which CNC technology is the most familiar. However, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology, many manufacturers also began to use 3D printers to customize fixtures.
Compared with the aluminum alloy parts made by traditional CNC, the weight of the fixture made is nearly 3 times lighter, and the estimated cost based on the demand for small batch customization can be significantly reduced, both in terms of production and time costs.
