Fixture interfaces and custom components can be quickly and easily produced using RapidFit software and FDM Technology.
A modular fixturing system is a versatile alternative to a single–purpose, dedicated fixture. Constructed from a kit of interchangeable components, the modular fixture is easily reconfigured for any workholding application. When not in use, the fixture can be dismantled for convenient storage.
Modular systems are ideal for intermittent or one–time use. They are commonly used to:
For these applications, the modular system saves time and reduces cost.
While the majority of the modular fixture is constructed from standard components, the interface is custom-made with FDM technology on a Fortus 3D Production System. At each support point, an FDM contact element acts as the transition from the part’s surface to the fixture’s grid plate, pillar or beam. These contact elements can be manually designed in CAD, but this design effort may take more time than that to construct the FDM elements.
The Magics RapidFit module provides a faster and easier way to create the STL files for the custom FDM elements. This software, created by Materialise, automates the digital design process. With just a few mouse clicks, the files are ready for building on a Fortus system. Just a few hours later, the fixture is assembled and ready for use.
