Easily create a negative
In just a few clicks, subtract complex geometries, avoid undercuts, and fine-tune offsets for a securely fitted fixture.
Seamless 3D printing integration
Exports are optimized for 3D printing, so once your design is complete, simply slice, 3D print, and deploy your custom fixture within hours.
Industry-standard components included
A range of standard clamps and baseplates are available directly in fixturemate, saving you the hassle of creating these components from scratch.
How our customers rethink fixtures
"In CAD we usually need two to four hours to produce a design, depending on the size of the part. With fixturemate we can produce a usable fixture in minutes."
"trinckle's fixturemate software has seamlessly integrated design automation into our additive manufacturing processes for tooling at Deutsche Bahn. The software has drastically reduced our design times and costs."
Import CAD data
Upload STL, 3MF, SLDPRT, or STEP workpieces, and position them in the workspace.
Define the baseplate
Your fixture's baseplate can be a standard manufactured component, or completely 3D printed.
Generate support structures
Support workpieces with rectangular, cylindrical, conical, or custom-shaped structures.
Create a negative
Subtract your workpiece geometry from the support structures to form a nested geometry, and fine-tune offsets for a snug fixture fit.
Add standard components
Incorporate optional features, such as clamps, text labels, holes, or cutouts.
Export for 3D printing
fixturemate outputs STL files optimized for 3D printing. It can also auto-generate PDFs of 2D drawings to clearly communicate the assembly process.
Assembly fixtures
Streamline assembly with exact part orientation for simple connections and mounting.
