Have you considered embracing 3D printing technology so that you can revolutionise how jigs and fixtures are used in your manufacturing processes? Here are five practical examples that demonstrate the versatility and efficiency of 3D printing in a manufacturing setting: 1. Assembly Jigs Custom assembly jigs designed to hold components in place during manual assembly. These can be tailored for specific geometries of parts, ensuring precision and reducing assembly time. 2. Welding Fixtures Specialised welding fixtures that can be quickly produced to accommodate short runs or custom fabrication jobs, enhancing workflow efficiency. 3. Inspection Gauges 3D printed inspection gauges that are custom-made for quality control, allowing for faster and more accurate measurements of newly manufactured parts. 4.Holding Fixtures These are used for securing parts in machines during CNC machining or finishing processes. The ability to quickly design and print these fixtures can dramatically reduce setup times and costs. 5. Robotics Grippers Custom grippers for robotic arms that can be specifically designed to handle different materials or shapes, increasing the flexibility and automation of the production line. By integrating 3D printing into your jig and fixture fabrication, you unlock a new level of customisation and speed, driving efficiency up and costs down. #3DPrinting #Manufacturing #Innovation #SMEs #Efficiency

Can you imagine a 3D-printed plastic part with a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 300 degrees Celsius? At Crennovations 3D, we certainly can. We're always on the lookout for innovative materials that help our clients push the boundaries of additive manufacturing. Recently, we worked with a client who needed a 3D printed part for a unique, high-heat application. That's when we discovered the Figure 4® HI TEMP 300-AMB from 3D Systems Corporation, an ultra-high-temperature resistant rigid plastic with an HDT over 300°C. This material proved to be worthy for our client's application which needed to operate in extreme temperatures. Not only did it meet the technical requirements, but its rigid and translucent characteristics also created a functional and visually appealing part. With the Figure 4® HI TEMP 300-AMB, we're unlocking new possibilities for 3D printing in challenging environments. Whether you're working on consumer appliances, motor enclosures, or even molds, this material has the potential to change the way you approach high-temperature applications. If you're facing similar high-temperature challenges, explore how this remarkable material can push the boundaries for your projects too. #manufacturing #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinter #automotive #automobiles #engineering #india #crennovations3d #makeininda #trending #trend Rakesh Kadam Abhilash Chauhan Daivik Mahamuni Olaf Passanha Mubeen Chaus

👉 3D printed PCD cutting tool in use in conventional machining ✅ "When we started supplying our customers with smaller quantities of special tools, this became a problem for us," explains Alan Pearce, head of PCD production at Guhring UK. Depending on the size and complexity of a tool, it can take up to eight weeks to design, test and manufacture special tools in-house. With the help of Markforged 3D printers, Guhring can now bring an initial prototype from ONYX to the customer's next appointment, just a few days later. The final cutting tool is then printed in metal using the Mark3D - Markforged Metal X, followed by CNC finishing. The lead times, weight and cost per piece have reduced enormously. ✅ Time reduced by 66 % ✅ Costs reduced by 75 % ✅ Weight reduced by 60 % ✅ Lifetime 4x longer 👉 Comment with 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 and I will send you the detailed PDF. --- #3Dprinting #additivemanufacturing #innovation #engineering #additivefertigung #robotics #supplychain #markforged Daniel David Max Lynn
