Service · Industrial tooling

3D printed jigs, fixtures, clamps and EOAT from Brescia, Italy

We produce custom industrial tooling for the manufacturers of the Brescia district and beyond: inspection jigs, assembly fixtures, clamps, painting masks, robotic grippers and end-of-arm tooling (EOAT). Iterations in hours, no mold costs, and materials from Nylon PA12 to continuous fiber composite.

Single tools in 48–⁠72 hours

On the Express lane we deliver a single tool in 2–3 working days. Sets of 5–20 parts in 5 days.

Iterations in hours

Change the CAD today, produce the revision tomorrow. No mold costs, and the tooling keeps pace with your lines.

Metal replacement

Continuous fiber composite (CFC) and PA-CF replace 6061 aluminum at half the weight, with no corrosion.

What we make

Types of industrial tooling

Inspection and gauging jigs

Gauges, check fixtures and go/no-go jigs for in-line dimensional inspection.

Assembly fixtures

Nests and supports that locate parts for assembly, welding or bonding.

Clamps and soft jaws

Custom jaws for grippers and toggle clamps, plus workholding for CNC machining.

Painting masks

Masking fixtures for selective painting and surface treatments.

Robotic grippers (EOAT)

End-of-arm tooling for articulated and collaborative robots, light enough not to overload the motors.

Pick-and-place and guides

Custom suction cups, adaptive grippers, drill guides and functional test cages.

Recommended materials

The right material for every tool

  • Nylon PA12 (SLS)

    Light, isotropic and non-marring on the parts it handles. Ideal for EOAT, grippers and pick-and-place.

  • PA-CF (FDM)

    Nylon reinforced with chopped carbon fiber. High stiffness for clamps and jigs under load.

  • CFC composite (continuous fiber)

    Up to 900 MPa tensile strength. Metal replacement for aluminum in structural tooling.

  • PEEK / Ultem

    For high-temperature tooling (>150 °C), chemically aggressive environments or aerospace certifications.

  • Engineering PLA / PETG (FDM)

    Low-load tooling and low-cost jig prototypes. Excellent price-to-performance ratio.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about 3D printed industrial tooling.

We produce inspection jigs, assembly fixtures, clamps, painting and masking fixtures, robotic grippers, end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), soft jaws, pick-and-place tools, drill guides, test cages and custom tooling for production lines, ramp-up and testing.

For lightweight grippers and EOAT we typically use Nylon PA12 SLS (light, isotropic, non-marring). For clamps and jigs under load we prefer PA-CF FDM or continuous carbon fiber composite (CFC) up to 900 MPa, replacing aluminum.

Single tools in 48–72 hours on the Express lane. Sets of 5–20 parts typically in 5 working days. No mold costs: when the line needs changes, the next iteration takes a few hours.

Yes, if the material and the DfAM are right. A clamp in PA-CF or CFC has specific stiffness comparable to 6061 aluminum at half the weight, and withstands repeated cycles with no corrosion and no need for surface treatments.
