From 14 days to 14 hours.
CNC soft jaws, conformal fixtures, functional prototypes and robotic EOAT in PA6-CF and PETG-CF composites. Printed overnight — on the operator's bench by morning.
Your external additive tooling department
From functional prototypes to production-floor tooling, with process control and documentation engineered to integrate directly into your quality and procurement workflows.
Overnight turnaround
Soft jaws, assembly fixtures, EOAT printed overnight. On the operator's bench by morning shift, ready for production.
Structural composites
PA6-CF: 80–90% of 6061 aluminium tensile strength. Impact-resistant, cutting-fluid-resistant, rated for continuous service to 120 °C.
DfAM engineering
We re-engineer CNC models for additive. Tolerance stack-ups, clearances, press-fits, part consolidation and topology optimisation.
Full batch traceability
Material lot, build parameters, dimensional inspection report. Structured documentation for procurement and quality management.
Tooling and prototypes engineered for the production floor
Industrial tooling and functional prototypes in advanced carbon fibre composites: CNC soft jaws, conformal assembly fixtures, robotic EOAT and validated shop-floor components. Full-cycle support from DfAM engineering through prototyping to serial delivery.
Rapid Prototyping
From CAD file to a functional PA6-CF or PETG-CF prototype in under 24 hours. Structural composites with real-world mechanical properties for direct field validation.

Field evidence
Jigs, grippers and fixtures: why 3D printing pays off first on shop-floor tooling — not on the end part
The clearest factory case for additive is often not the serialized component but the tooling that locates, grips, and moves it. A technical walkthrough on conformal fixtures and published industrial benchmarks.
ReadThe race to 1,000 parts: when in-house 3D beats molding on the clock — and when it does not
Formlabs pits two Form 4L systems against a real two-cavity mold: hours, dollars, and a break-even point that moves beyond first intuition.
ReadPA6-CF versus 6061 aluminum: choosing beyond Young’s modulus
Fiber-reinforced nylon and a ubiquitous wrought alloy follow different rules: stiffness path, damping, weight, secondary ops, and full cycle cost for jaws, brackets, and end effectors.
