Great fixture design ensures high-quality, cost-effective components and products. Poorly designed fixtures, on the other hand, can lead to rejected parts and costly modifications.
Generative Parametric’s technology delivers fixture solutions for a wide range of components, applications, and industries—rapidly, accurately, and efficiently. Advanced automated parameters, known as DNA Modelling, enable the creation and updating of flawless fixture designs in a fraction of the time required by traditional approaches.

Precision-engineered solutions
- Assembly Fixtures: Designed for processes including welding, drilling, clipping, screwing, sealing, gluing, and taping.
- Machining Fixtures: Cost-effective solutions that accommodate multiple or opposing components.
- Checking & CMM Fixtures: Ensuring components meet exact specifications through precise measurement.
- Painting Fixtures: Optimised for full coverage and smooth passage through spray booths.
- Cooling Fixtures: Maintaining dimensional accuracy post-cooling to prevent deformation.
- Mistake-proofing built-in: A ‘poka-yoke’ (mistake-proofing) approach ensures fixtures minimise human and manufacturing errors from the outset—improving accuracy, efficiency, and reliability.
