Software
Design custom fixtures in less than 20 minutes.
FixtureMate is an intuitive, web-based software for designing and configuring fixtures.
CAD knowledge is optional.
Design without CAD complexity
The manual design of fixtures is time-consuming—even for experienced engineers. fixturemate is an intuitive, web-based software that allows anyone to quickly design fixtures, regardless of whether they are familiar with CAD or not.
Simply create a negative
Subtract complex geometries in just a few clicks, avoid undercuts, and define tolerances—for a precise fixture.
Industry-standard components included
A selection of standard clamps and base plates is available directly in fixturemate, saving you the effort of creating these components from scratch.
Seamless integration of 3D printing
Data exports are optimized for 3D printing, allowing you to easily slice, print, and deploy your custom fixture within hours.
One software, diverse applications
Assembly fixtures
Optimize assembly with precise part alignment for simplified assembly and fastening steps.
Measuring fixtures
Align components for CMM or CT quality control processes with minimal surface contact.
Machining fixtures
Create strong and stable custom workpiece clamps for turning, drilling, and milling operations.
Welding fixtures
Ensure precise alignment and stability during bonding and welding— for reliable repeatability.
Inspection Gauges
Use Go/No-Go inspection gauges to quickly check the accuracy of parts after production or assembly.
Workpiece and Load Carriers
Optimize internal logistics by efficiently and safely transporting delicate components between workstations.
Step 1
Import CAD data
Upload STL, 3MF, SLDPRT, or STEP workpieces and position them in the working environment.
Step 2
Define the base plate
As the base plate of your fixture, you can choose between a standard component or a fully 3D-printed setup.
Step 3
Generate support structures
Support the workpiece with rectangular, cylindrical, conical, or custom structures.
Step 4
Create a negative
Subtract your workpiece geometry from the support structures to obtain the negative and choose a precise offset for the desired fit accuracy.
Step 5
Add standard components
Integrate optional elements such as clamps, labels, holes, or cutouts.
Step 6
Export for 3D printing
fixturemate outputs STL data optimized for 3D printing. It can also automatically create PDFs of 2D drawings to clearly document the assembly process.
