3D printed jigs and fixtures
3D printed jigs and fixtures for assembly, setup, repeat work, and process improvement.
Jigs and fixtures are a sweet spot for 3D printing because they are usually geometry-specific, low-volume, and valuable mainly because they save time or reduce error.
Low-volume friendly
You usually need one fixture or a handful of them, not a mass-production process.
Process-specific
3D printing makes it easier to build a fixture around your exact workpiece or workflow.
Fast revision cycle
If the first version teaches you something, the next version is just another upload away.
Useful materials
PETG and carbon-filled materials can be especially useful for shop-side aids.
