Why 3D printing for mechanical engineering & fixtures?
Faster than milled
Complex holders and nests in days instead of weeks.
Lighter
Less moving mass on grippers and axes.
Integrated functions
Channels, clips and mounts directly in the component.
Easy to re-order
The file is stored – replacements on demand.

Which fixture parts can be printed?
Almost everything that does not permanently take loads or temperatures beyond the limits of plastic: gripper jaws and fingers, loading aids and stops, sensor and cable holders, covers, dosing and feeding parts. The advantage over milling: complex nests in days instead of weeks, less moving mass on grippers and axes, and functions such as channels and clips directly in the part.
The right material matters. For robust holders we use fibre-reinforced FDM materials such as PA12-CF, for precise gripper jaws SLA resins such as Rigid 4000 or Tough 2000, for complex functional parts SLS or MJF. The file is stored – replacements can be reordered at any time.
Material choice

| High load | SLM (metal) |
FAQ about mechanical engineering & fixtures
Do printed parts hold up in continuous operation?
With the right material and a load-appropriate design, yes. We design the part for your application and recommend a test print if needed.
Can you also manufacture from a drawing?
Yes – or we design the part based on your requirements and installation situation.
Want to turn your idea into a finished part?
Send us CAD data, a photo, a sketch or the original part. We check feasibility, process and material and get back to you with an assessment and a quote.
