Often interchangeable as terms, jigs and fixtures are manufacturing aids that support a workpiece whilst it is being worked. This can range from drilling, thread tapping, shaping, forming, painting, machining and especially assembly work.
Utilising mounting, securing or holding systems can be incredibly advantageous for use in production situations. Complex geometries can be held with ease and tasks performed with accuracy and efficiency. This can make a carefully engineered jig or fixture incredibly valuable to the user.
By use of jigs and fixtures, you can ensure repeatability and accuracy in the manufacture of your products.
With the combined use of traditional machining and fabrication techniques as well as the latest 3D printing technologies, IPF produce secure, reliable work aids for our clients.
IPF is a one-stop shop for your prototyping and batch production projects.
