Transform your manufacturing operations with automated fixture design that eliminates engineering bottlenecks and addresses the skilled labor shortage. Your AM operators can now design professional-grade fixtures independently, reducing fixture creation time from days to hours.
80% of manufacturers report skilled labor shortages. fixturemate democratizes fixture design. Traditional fixture design requires manufacturing engineers with CAD expertise and expensive software licenses. fixturemate changes this—your technicians and AM operators can now create production-ready fixtures without any CAD knowledge, freeing up engineering resources for higher-value work.
