After a few weeks of using an Objet 3D printer many customers realize that a printer can be applied to many other areas of their business in order to solve problems or reduce costs. In most cases, a 3D printer is purchased to help in the design, research, and development process. As time passes and users get familiar with the printer’s capabilities they realize that it can replace some traditional methods of creating their products.
One example of this are jigs and fixtures used to help assemble parts, i.e. hold parts in place to make holes or apply screws and fasteners. Creating jigs and fixtures with a 3D printer is a quick, reliable, accurate, and cost effective solution.
