  As an indispensable auxiliary tool in industrial production, the fixture is mainly used to support and fix the position of the workpiece to ensure the production efficiency and yield in the subsequent processing process; The design and manufacture of fixture have a direct impact on the quality and production efficiency of the product.

  LiM Laser directly prints the forming fixture through reverse modeling, providing practical experience for the subsequent development of complex structural metal fixtures using 3D printing technology.

Forming size: 125mm×90mm×80mm

Printing device: LiM-X400M

Printing material: Aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg)

Printing time: 1.5h

Traditional fixture, easy to wear and tear

  In practical applications, plastic fixtures with low cost are usually used, but they have the disadvantages of being vulnerable to wear and tear, and long-term use will cause fixture wear and affect the subsequent processing quality, and most of the situation appears in the mass production stage, resulting in a decline in the yield of the whole batch of products. If the traditional CNC machining process is used to manufacture metal fixtures, the design is difficult, the production cycle is long, and the material cost is higher. Metal 3D printing technology provides an efficient solution to such problems.

  3D scanning, reverse modeling

  Optimize the design process and fit the workpiece structure

  The 3D scanning device captures the geometric shape and size data of the parts to be clamped, constructs the 3D information of the area to be clamped by reverse modeling, and then designs the fixture quickly according to the 3D model and product requirements. This innovative application greatly optimizes the design process, not only improving efficiency, but also better fitting the fixture design and size to the part structure.

  Integrated forming, green environmental protection, reduce difficulty, save cost, metal 3D printing tooling, only simple post-processing can be put into use, fast and efficient. The fixture products in the case can be completed within one day from printing on the machine to having the conditions for use; Compared with traditional CNC machining, it reduces the difficulty of manufacturing, avoids the waste of raw materials, and saves human resources and production costs while being green.

  Personalized customization, mass production

  Using the LiM-X400M device to print sample fixtures on a full board, forming 6 pieces at a time takes only 9h, further speeding up the production process and achieving higher efficiency.

  By applying metal 3D printing technology to fixture manufacturing, LiM Laser provides the industry with a simpler, more efficient and cost-effective solution, and also brings new ideas for further realizing the production and manufacturing of complex structural fixtures.

  LiM Laser is committed to using metal 3D printing technology to promote production innovation in more fields and contribute to the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. In the future, we will continue to expand the diversified application of metal 3D printing technology and strive to write a new chapter in the development of manufacturing.
