01QUICK VALIDATION
Make it tangible and validate early
A model you can hold reveals scale, interference and handling. Issues that drawings alone rarely surface are resolved at an early stage.

SERVICE 06 / JIG / PROTOTYPING
Prototype, validate, and make it production-ready.
Check geometry and fit quickly with polymer 3D printing, then move to metal additive manufacturing or machining as needed. We progress step by step from prototype to working fixture to production.

JIG & PROTOTYPING PROJECTS / Projects
From design review to machining.
Practical jigs, engineered with confidence.
From planning the machining sequence in CAD/CAM, through form checks using polymer and metal 3D printing, to precision machining of metal fixtures. We iterate prototyping and verification to arrive at a fixture that works in practice.
TECHNOLOGY / APPROACH
Jigs & Prototyping
From form and fit checks with polymer 3D printing through to working prototypes combining metal additive manufacturing and machining. Machining jigs and inspection fixtures are also designed and built to suit each application.
02FIT FOR PURPOSE
Choose the right process and material
We select between polymer, metal additive manufacturing, machining and sheet metal, and propose a method that matches your accuracy, strength, durability and cost requirements.
03PRODUCTION READY
From prototype to a shop-floor-ready jig
Designed around its purpose — positioning, inspection or machining support — and refined from evaluation results for production or continued use.
