Use of 3D printing in large manufacturing offers a more time and cost-efficient means of making tooling fixtures than machining them. One client demonstrated these benefits when they sought a lighter, ergonomic window glass installation fixture and turned to 3D printing. By using FDM Nylon 12CF carbon fiber, they made the tool lighter, stronger, and internally reinforced, achieving a design not possible with machining. The result: a fixture 15% lighter, 70% cheaper, and easier to use than the metal version.
