Challenges with Traditional Tooling
The Factory Floor
➢Safety Guarding
➢Go/No go Gauges
➢Assembly tools
➢Nesting fixtures
➢Automation End-Effectors
➢Replacement or enhancement components
Technical Notes:
• Color coding allows for easy identification
• Durable Thermoplastics
• “Hybrid” printed tools with hardware for improved functionality
