Conformal Assembly Fixtures
Additively manufactured jigs and fixtures designed to exact part geometry. Measurably reduced cycle times, positioning errors and operator fatigue across assembly, welding and inspection operations.
Production advantages
- Custom-designed to the precise component geometry and datum scheme
- Eliminate manual positioning errors during assembly and inspection
- Reduce operator fatigue through ergonomic lightweight design
- Carbon fibre composites qualified for demanding production environments
- Welding jigs, drill guides, masking fixtures and go/no-go gauges
- Rapid iteration: CAD revision in the evening, replacement fixture by morning
Fixtures that copy your part, not a rectangular block
Traditional fixtures are planar: flat surfaces holding complex parts with clamps, shims and compromises. The result is misalignment, long cycle times and fatigued operators.
Conformal fixtures printed in PA6-CF perfectly cradle the organic geometry of your part. The operator places the component, locks it and works. No manual alignment, no interpretation. Assembly times reduced, errors eliminated.
This applies to welding jigs that position pipes and brackets with millimeter precision, drill guides that eliminate manual marking, masking fixtures for painting and sandblasting, and non-marring transport trays for finished components.
For C.M.C. Costruzioni Meccaniche Conci and other heavy mechanical construction firms in Rovereto, these fixtures eliminate hours of prep work on every batch.
