Maintain Your Seamless Manufacturing Workflow with 3D-Printed Durable Aids

Renault jig fixtures with part

Manufacturing aids are often used for short-run production in motorsports and customizing jigs and fixtures for specific parts. Manufacturing aids also assist with streamlining production and shortening the time required to complete assembly. 

Our additive manufacturing solutions allow aids to be printed quickly and kept on hand as replacements to keep the manufacturing flow running smoothly.

Solve Your Manufacturing Aids Challenges

  • motorsports 3d printed jigs and fixtures

  • Stable Supply of Replacement Jigs and Fixtures

    Jigs and fixtures can wear or break during a critical production run. Producing replacement jigs and fixtures with additive manufacturing ensures that parts can be built quickly and stored in inventory, saving time, costs, and labor. Batch production of parts can be completed in mere hours.

  • Rapid Design Iteration

    The tight tolerances of manufacturing aids are critical to their effectiveness. Producing a fixture with friction points through traditional means can be difficult to achieve, modify or repair quickly. The ability to produce iterative designs with additive manufacturing and adhere to strict tolerances improves the manufacturing performance.

  • Durability and Rigidity of Jigs and Fixtures

    Subject to significant stress and forces, jigs and fixtures must maintain their accuracy, strength, and rigidity to remain effective. With additive, when manufacturing aids begin to exhibit wear and tear, they can be easily replaced with new parts that have the same durability and accuracy as the previous parts.
