How It Works

Upload Your Part CAD File

Upload your part as an STL, 3MF, or STEP file and position within the workspace. For best performance, upload files under 10 MB.

Define the Baseplate

Choose a baseplate that fits your needs—whether it’s a standard manufactured component or fully 3D printed.

Generate Support Structures

Easily create support structures, with options for rectangular, cylindrical, conical, or custom shapes.

Create a Negative

Subtract your workpiece geometry from the support structures to form a precise nested fit. Adjust offsets for a secure and accurate fixture.

Add Standard Components

Enhance your fixture with optional features like clamps, text labels, holes, or cutouts.

Export for Getting an Instant Quote

Seamlessly export STL files optimised for 3D printing to your Xometry account to receive an instant quote for fixture manufacturing. The tool outputs files optimised for use with FDM, SLS, and MJF.

Design without CAD complexity

Fixture design in CAD software is time consuming – even for experienced engineers.
Fixturemate is intuitive web-based tool that allows anyone to design fixtures fast.

Easily Create a Negative

Subtract complex geometries in just a few clicks. Avoid undercuts and adjust offsets to ensure a secure and precise fixture fit.

Industry-Standard Components Included

Access a library of standard clamps and baseplates directly in fixturemate, eliminating the need to design these components from scratch.
