3D Printed Fixtures

In-House 3D Printed Fixtures

Microtech Welding has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities with the addition of an industrial-grade Creality Ender-6 3D printer.  This precision equipment allows us to design and create custom fixtures that help maintain proper orientation during parts assembly.

Advanced Materials

Our fixtures are produced using a variety of high-performance materials selected for specific applications:

  • PLA (Polylactide) for standard applications
  • PLA-CF (Carbon Fiber-Reinforced PLA) for enhanced strength
  • PETG (Polyethylene) for durability
  • ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) for heat resistance
  • PA6 (Nylon 6) for toughness and wear resistance

Design Process

Using CAD software, we create precise fixture designs tailored to specific assembly needs.  The Ender-6's stable core-XY structure and high print precision ensure the accurate reproduction of these designs.
