Introduction/challenge
A mechanical engineering company manufactures production machines for special requirements in special machine construction. A large number of different fasteners, brackets and hinges are required for the assembly of components, sensors, control elements and attachments.

Solution
The manufacturer develops the ideal brackets during the design phase and produces them just in time in the in-house tool shop using the TiQ 2 Plus FDM printer from innovatiQ.

• Accurate fit: Each bracket is perfectly matched to the specific geometry and load of the part to be mounted.
• Fast customization: Required brackets can be quickly adapted and printed if the product design changes.
• Function integration: Fastening points, guides and markings can be integrated directly into the fixture.
• No need for warehousing and procurement
  
  

Cost-effectiveness: Significant reduction in costs and production time compared to traditionally manufactured fixtures.

Print example: Customized mounting fixture
