What is this used for?

Use Case: Surface Enclosures

Castings are often expensive to produce, so it is common to repair or “remanufacture” a casting rather than replace it.

With the Masking Fixture Module, you select a surface, and the tool automatically generates an enclosure for any openings on that surface. 3D print the fixture and attach it to the part to protect its interiors from grease, media, or paint.

Use Case: Hole Plugs

Designing plugs for holes or slots is not an arduous task in traditional CAD software. But managing dozens of plugs takes a lot of time, and it is much easier to do in the Fixture Generator.

The Masking Fixture Module includes a great selection of built-in features that enable you to automate the whole design process. From the ability to add a taper on your plugs to customizing their clearance for slip fit, press-fit, or interference fit.
