Software

Design custom fixtures in less than 20 minutes.

FixtureMate is an intuitive, web-based software for designing and configuring fixtures.
CAD knowledge is optional.

Design without CAD complexity

The manual design of fixtures is time-consuming—even for experienced engineers. fixturemate is an intuitive, web-based software that allows anyone to quickly design fixtures, regardless of whether they are familiar with CAD or not.

Simply create a negative

Subtract complex geometries in just a few clicks, avoid undercuts, and define tolerances—for a precise fixture.

Industry-standard components included

A selection of standard clamps and base plates is available directly in fixturemate, saving you the effort of creating these components from scratch.

Seamless integration of 3D printing

Data exports are optimized for 3D printing, allowing you to easily slice, print, and deploy your custom fixture within hours.

One software, diverse applications

Assembly fixtures

Optimize assembly with precise part alignment for simplified assembly and fastening steps.

Measuring fixtures

Align components for CMM or CT quality control processes with minimal surface contact.

Machining fixtures

Create strong and stable custom workpiece clamps for turning, drilling, and milling operations.

Welding fixtures

Ensure precise alignment and stability during bonding and welding— for reliable repeatability.

Inspection Gauges

Use Go/No-Go inspection gauges to quickly check the accuracy of parts after production or assembly.

Workpiece and Load Carriers

Optimize internal logistics by efficiently and safely transporting delicate components between workstations.

fixturemate design workflow

Step 1
Import CAD data

Upload STL, 3MF, SLDPRT, or STEP workpieces and position them in the working environment.

Step 2
Define the base plate

As the base plate of your fixture, you can choose between a standard component or a fully 3D-printed setup.

Step 3
Generate support structures

Support the workpiece with rectangular, cylindrical, conical, or custom structures.

Step 4
Create a negative

Subtract your workpiece geometry from the support structures to obtain the negative and choose a precise offset for the desired fit accuracy.

Step 5
Add standard components

Integrate optional elements such as clamps, labels, holes, or cutouts.

Step 6
Export for 3D printing

fixturemate outputs STL data optimized for 3D printing. It can also automatically create PDFs of 2D drawings to clearly document the assembly process.
