End of Arm Tooling & Jigs/Fixtures
Built with integrated functions; mechanisms, air channels and mounts so that sensors can be directly incorporated into parts printed in carbon fibre reinforced Nylon
Functional Prototypes
Printed parts that are lightweight but stronger and stiffer than typical prototypes. Parts are fully functional, resistant to corrosive environments and able to withstand real world conditions
Low Volume Production
Repeatable production parts in both Nylon 12 CF and ASA in a variety of colours without the time or cost previously associated with short production runs

MATERIAL POSSIBILITIES
Our advanced 3D prints in Nylon 12 with a 35% Carbon Fibre (CF) fill gives unparalleled strength and stiffness to prototypes, and indeed to low volume production parts, jigs and fixtures, and the end-of-arm robot tooling that we produce.
Finished prototype parts can be painted, machined, drilled or chrome plated. All materials are REACH compliant. Rapid prototypes produced using this method are as life-like as the final manufactured items so form, fit and function can be accurately tested.
We can also produce parts in UV stable ASA in various different colours (see examples of 3D printed parts).
PROTOTYPING AND PRODUCTION
JIGS & FIXTURES, EOAT, LOW VOLUME RUNS
LOW VOLUME PRODUCTION RUNS
The addition of the Fortus 380 CF 3D printer means that we can create accurate, repeatable parts faster than ever before. We have been long-time advocates of additive manufacturing technology and producing low volume end-use parts is a new but valued service that we can now offer our customers.
END OF ARM ROBOT TOOLING
Carbon fibre printed end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) and gripper systems offers a number of great advantages:
- Intricate, slim and complex parts can be printed
- Speed and cost savings
- Lightweight EOAT assist payload constraints
- Weight reduction improves motor efficiency, speed and performance.
- Durable and strong
JIGS & FIXURES
You can be assured of our expertise with jigs and fixtures because we print our own. Not only can jigs and fixtures be created far quicker than traditional methods but they are cheaper too, and highly durable for the rigours of a workplace environment.
