The use of 3D printing for creating custom jigs and fixtures, faster and cheaper that traditional milling processes, has been one of the biggest ‘wins’ for the technology to date, so its of little surprises to see Stratasys unveil specific software to streamline the process.
Jigs and Fixtures for GrabCAD Print aims to simplify and automate the print preparation for Stratasys’ FDM 3D Printing technology by eliminating the need for users to convert their CAD design to an STL file,
By accepting native CAD designs, Stratasys believes that the part’s original design intent is maintained, which can result in key information not being lost during translation.
The tools expands on the capabilities offered in Stratasys Insight to streamline the toolpath planning process; which should increasing ease of use, reduce time and costs to create jig and fixture parts, and maximise the value for Stratasys’ Additive Manufacturing solutions.
