3D Printed Fixtures

Fixtures for the Production of Components for the Wind Turbine Industry

Fixtures for producing components for the wind turbine industry are typically manufactured manually, a process that is often time-consuming and costly. This project develops and implements methods for 3D printing fixtures, reducing fixture costs by 80%.

Challenge

Manual manufacturing of fixtures for components in the wind turbine industry is often time-consuming and costly. 3D-printed fixtures can reduce downtime from 2–3 weeks to just 24 hours in production.

Proposed Solution

3D-printed fixtures can reduce time-to-market, minimize downtime in production lines, and achieve cost savings of 80% for subcontractor companies in the wind turbine industry.

Project Deliverables
