FDM
Assembly jig
A fixture made to center the component during assembly, lightened where a solid section is not needed.
Parts from drawings, for the line
Jigs, fixtures and spare parts
A jig or a spare that stops a machine cannot wait for a mold. We model it from the drawing and print it in FDM in a material fit for the bench.
We design centering jigs, fixtures and light workholding for assembly. Infill and shells are chosen for stiffness and wear, not for a display object.
For spare parts we start from a technical drawing, a STEP file or measured dimensions. The part is remodeled for FDM and made in a material that survives use: nylon, PC, PETG, or ASA if it lives outdoors.
From drawing to part
- 01
Less line downtime
A fixture or an out-of-catalog spare comes back without a minimum order.
- 02
Fit to your bench
The jig follows the real component, not a standard fixture.
- 03
Light and repeatable
Internal light weighting keeps weight down without hollowing the fastening areas.
- 04
Shop-floor material
We pick filaments that handle impact, oils or sunlight, depending on where the part works.

Applications
3D printed jigs, fixtures and spares
Centering and drilling jigs
They place the component in the same spot, part after part.
Fixtures and check gauges
Shapes that follow the real part for assembly, bonding or inspection.
Discontinued spare parts
Parts no longer in a catalog, rebuilt from a drawing, STEP file or measurements.
Guards and soft inserts
TPU inserts that protect the part surfaces during assembly.
Process
How we work
01
Drawing or dimensions
A CAD file, a dimensioned drawing or the measurements of the part to replace is enough.
02
A model for the job
We adapt walls and fasteners to FDM and to the bench.
03
Print the part
We print the jig or the spare and, if needed, the next batch of spares.
04
Check on site
You receive a part ready to try in assembly.

FAQ
Jigs and spares: common questions
01Which material is used for a 3D printed assembly jig?
PETG and ABS for general shop-floor use, nylon where there is wear, polycarbonate for stiffness and heat. PLA suits lightly loaded jigs, TPU soft inserts that do not mark the part.
02Can you remake a discontinued spare part?
Yes, if the part is plastic and fits the 256 × 256 × 260 mm volume. We rebuild it from a technical drawing, STEP file or measurements and print it in a material that survives the use.
03Do I need a CAD file to order a jig or a spare?
No. A dimensioned drawing or the measurements of the part to replace are enough: we prepare the print model.
04Can you produce several copies of the same jig?
Yes. The same jig for every workstation comes from the same file and the same parameters, with batch pricing from 10 parts.
