3D Printing Ally was formed in July of 2013 with one goal, to bring 3D printing to all manufacturing companies big and small. 3D printing can help any size company save time and money with manufacturing aids like: *Design communication for complex parts - Let your programmers, toolmakers and machinists hold a sample part to get a better visualization of what’s needed. *Drill jigs - Hold .010” true position using a drill press *Assembly fixtures - Securely hold any shaped parts in place for safe assembly *Inspection fixtures - Hold parts in the optimal position for inspecting in one operation *Sample parts for CMM programming - Have programs written and proven before the parts show up *Check fixtures - Verify part numbers on families of similar parts *5S, 6S and Lean Manufacturing aids - Place tools where they're needed and know when they’re missing *Short run tooling for forming aluminum - Hydro and brake press tooling *Robotic end of arm tooling - Quickly develop and implement new tooling for robotic cells *Light duty machining fixtures for odd shaped parts - Part supports and soft jaws *Custom machine guards and personal safety guards - Keep hands out of dangerous areas in any situation *Custom dust/mist collection nozzles - Keep areas clean during dirty operations
