Manufacturing Aids
OPTIMIZE MANUFACTURING ASSEMBLY PROCESSES COST-EFFECTIVELY

Improve Assembly Operations While Reducing Tooling and Inventory Costs
Assembly operations can be complex, prone to quality issues, and unpredictable in terms of efficiency and time. Moreover, while manufacturing aids are often used to improve costs, quality, and time, they’re also prone to complexity and frequent modifications. Our additive solutions for manufacturing aids allow production and assembly operations to optimize the assembly process while controlling manufacturing and inventory costs in the most challenging environments. You can tailor jigs, fixtures, grippers, and locators to specific processes and components and quickly iterate for continuous improvement without costly traditional tool making and burdensome inventory costs. One option is utilizing SLA Accura AMX Rigid Black

Rigid and Durable Components
The efficiency of the assembly process relies on manufacturing aids. However, the production of automotive manufacturing aids can see significant forces, stresses, and wear over time. Our advanced materials, printing technologies, and design practices give you the confidence to adopt the most advanced manufacturing aid solutions for automotive assemblies so that you can maintain quality and maximize productivity. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is often used for jigs and fixtures due to it’s material properties and the economy of scale to produce parts. SLS

Rapid Iteration for Continuous Improvement
Manufacturing aids can go through numerous iterations as production teams and industrial and manufacturing engineers improve the process; design freedom and the ability to hold tight tolerances on manufacturing aids are critical to their effectiveness. Our additive manufacturing aid solutions provide the capacity to produce iterative designs to adhere to these strict tolerances and design features, allowing teams to provide more iterations and accelerate assembly efficiency.

Efficient Inventory Management
Manufacturing aids can wear or break during production runs, requiring an inventory of replacement aids to keep assembly lines running. While traditional tool-making can produce these components, production times and costs force the tradeoff between lead time and overproduction. Our additive solutions for manufacturing replacement aids enable you to build aids quickly and on demand. You can ensure that you have the replacements needed to maintain uptime without overproduction while minimizing your traditional manufacturing costs.
