Jigs and Fixtures

PTG PA12 is a high-performance polymer with superior detail fineness and surface resolution. It also has excellent mechanical qualities and resistance to a variety of chemicals.

The PTG PA12 can be used for a wide range of jigs and fixtures and even for medical devices with temporary physical contact.

A variety of printers, including the powder 3D printers of Nexa3D® such as the QLS 230, QLS 236, QLS 260, QLS 820, and the Stratasys® H350, can print this material with precision without the use of supports, allowing you to design complicated structures.

ULTEM™ 1010 resin is a durable 3D printing substance made of high-performance polyetherimide (PEI) thermoplastic. It offers great heat resistance and the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion among FDM materials.

With its high strength qualities, ULTEM 1010 resin is the strongest FDM material and ideal for demanding and specialised applications such as lightweight composite tools. ULTEM™ 1010 CG (certified grade) meets industry standards for biocompatibility and food safety, including ISO 10993, USP Class VI, and NSF 51.

The Fortus® 450mc provides precise, dependable performance that lets you save production costs. Its proven reliability and capability to use the ULTEM™ 1010 makes it a trusted 3D printing solution for manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, rail, oil and gas, and commercial products industries.

ToolingX CF, one of the most popular 3D printing materials in the aerospace industry, is a carbon fiber-filled composite material that is lightweight, chemically resistant, and mechanically resistant.

It is virtually completely insoluble in organic solvents below 200 °C, making it appropriate for use in applications involving caustic or difficult-to-manage chemicals. Roboze ToolingX CF is flame resistant by design due to its chemical structure and self-extinguishing qualities.

The Roboze ARGO 500 is a high-temperature industrial 3D printer with an extruder capable of reaching 450°C and a build envelope that can heat up to 180°C. The ARGO 500 works with the ToolingX CF and can produce large-format jigs and fixtures with 10 µm positioning accuracy and consistent reproducibility.

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Electrostatic Dissipative, or ABS-ESD7, is an ABS thermoplastic having the ability to dissipate static electricity. It stops static energy from building up, preventing discharges and drawing in other things like dust, powder, and small particles.

The FDM material ABS-ESD7 is a filament with the strength and durability of ABS. Using ESD-ready ABS material, it is used to print prototypes, jigs, electronics supports and fixtures and is used for other electrostatically sensitive applications.

Stratasys®'s industrial FDM 3D printers, such as the F370®CR from the F123CR Composite Ready Series, which provides high-strength carbon fiber materials on a dependable, user-friendly industrial printer platform, are specifically made for printing the ABS-ESD7 filament.

The engineering-grade thermoplastic 3DXSTAT™ ESD-Flex TPU [90A] [thermoplastic polyurethane] elastomer was selected for its high flexibility, ease of printing, chemical resistance, and durability. The goal surface resistance of 3DXSTAT™ ESD Flex elastomeric filament is 10^3 Ohm, and it is designed to provide ESD-Safe electrical conductivity.

Because of the filament's strong elongation of over 300%, shore 90A semi-flex hardness, minimal moisture absorption that maintains flexibility even at low temperatures, jigs and fixtures, casings, conveying, metering, and sensing applications are typical ESD uses of this filament.

The ARGO 350 from the Italian manufacturer Roboze prints the TPU-ESD filament from 3DXTECH with outstanding qualities. The industrial printer lets you produce your parts in a matter of hours. Create large-format finished jigs and fixtures with a 3D printer with 10 µm positioning accuracy and consistent repeatability.

FDM Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber (Nylon 12CF) is a combination of Nylon 12 and chopped carbon fiber that achieves the highest flexural strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio of any FDM material. Nylon 12CF also offers a cleaner carbon fiber addition method than SLA while maintaining equal strength attributes.

In some applications, the strength and stiffness are sufficient to replace metal. Replace heavy metal jigs and fixtures with lighter, more ergonomic carbon fiber FDM tools. Carbon fiber functional prototypes are a faster way to validate designs than expensive and time-consuming metal prototypes.

The Fortus® 450mc provides precise, dependable performance, allowing you to speedup manufacturing and save production costs. Its proven reliability and capability to use the FDM Nylon 12CF (Carbon Fiber) makes it a trusted 3D printing solution for manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, rail, oil and gas, and commercial products industries.
