Modular fixtures are cheap but difficult to assemble. Hacked-together solutions tend to produce poor-quality welds.<\/p>\t\n\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\tSolution\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p>Markforged 3D printed composite welding fixtures combine excellent quality with low cost. These work-holding fixtures are heat-resistant enough to hold the vast majority of welded parts. You can easily design fixtures to hold even the most complex assemblies, securely and accurately. If a fixture breaks, it can easily be reprinted.<\/p>\t\n\t\t\t<h2>Impact<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Optimize Fixtures<\/strong>: Reduce the need for the time-consuming fabrication of often-imperfect weld fixtures and take the guesswork out of welding setups.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save time<\/strong>: Dramatically reduce assembly and welding setup times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save money<\/strong>: Increase fixture accuracy and repeatability while allowing skilled labor to focus on making products, not building fixtures to hold them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduce physical fixture inventory<\/strong>: We&#8217;ve seen fixtures collect dust for years and take up precious space. Markforged&#8217;s Eiger software allows you to switch\/transition to a digital inventory for fixturing that is rarely used. If the welding design changes or the project is needed at a future date, it&#8217;s easy to print a new, updated fixture.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/weld-fixturing-top.jpg\" alt=\"weld-fixturing-top\" title=\"weld-fixturing-top\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/lpd\/markforged\/SDHQ-welding-fixture.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Laser Welding Fixture\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/welding-fixture.jpg\"\/>\n\t\tWELDING FIXTURE\n\t\t\t<p>Application Spotlight<\/p>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/blog\/we-reduced-costs-by-90-percent-gsc-customer-johnson-level-markforged-3d-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Johnson-Level-Ultrasonic-Welding-Part-Highlight-600x338-1.jpg\"\/>\n\t\tUltrasonic Welding Fixture\n\t\t\t<p>Application Spotlight<\/p>\n\t\t<h5>FIND THE RIGHT TOOL FOR YOUR APPLICATION<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/additive-manufacturing\/markforged\/composite-vs-metal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCompare\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<h3>Composite Printing<\/h3><h4>Solutions<\/h4>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3up-composite-printing-solutions.png\" alt=\"3up-composite-printing-solutions\" title=\"3up-composite-printing-solutions\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\t\t\t<h3>Metal Printing<\/h3><h4>Solution<\/h4>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsc-3d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Metal-X-Block.png\" alt=\"Metal-X-Block\" title=\"Metal-X-Block\" itemprop=\"image\"\/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APPLICATION Welding Fixtures Challenge Machined fixtures are effective but are time-consuming and expensive to produce.
