Precision Tooling & Fixtures for Complex, High-Tolerance Applications

Custom tooling and workholding fixtures are the backbone of repeatable, high-accuracy machining and assembly processes. These fixtures securely hold parts in place during manufacturing, enabling precise cutting, forming, inspection, and assembly—especially when tolerances are tight and automation is involved.

At Die Technology, we design and manufacture tooling and workholding fixtures tailored to the exact needs of medical, aerospace, and high-tech industrial applications. Whether it’s aligning wires during catheter assembly or supporting laser operations on delicate parts, our team delivers high-performance fixtures that improve part consistency, reduce operator error, and support long-term process reliability. Our custom solutions are built to last and perform, and are ideal for automation cells, high-precision assembly and medical-grade components.

What Are Tooling and Workholding Fixtures?

Tooling and fixtures refer to custom-built mechanical solutions that ensure parts are precisely positioned, held, or supported during manufacturing. Fixtures are commonly used in clean room applications, inspection, assembly, or laser processing—any application where positional accuracy, repeatability, or operator safety is critical.

Think of a fixture as a custom “seatbelt” for your part. Just as a seatbelt holds you securely in place for a safe ride, a fixture holds each component securely in place for an accurate, custom manufacturing process. In industries like medical device manufacturing or aerospace, the margin for error is razor-thin—making precision workholding a non-negotiable part of the process.

Die Technology designs each fixture around your component geometry, material, and process requirements. Whether you need GO/NO-GO gages, modular nests, or custom fixture plates with integrated vacuum or clamping systems, our team engineers fixtures to optimize process reliability, cycle time, and part quality.

Die Technology’s Capabilities in Tooling & Fixture Design

Precision That Sets Us Apart

Our custom tooling and fixtures are built using SolidWorks CAD design and manufactured with 3- and 5-axis CNC machining, jig grinding, and EDM to meet the highest standards of precision. We’ve engineered workholding and inspection tools for parts measured in microns and built fixtures capable of running millions of cycles in automation cells without degradation.

From ultra-precise coil cutting fixtures for medical wire to fixtures that enable battery lead trimming, Die Technology brings creativity, precision, and practical know-how to every solution. We support all common fixture materials—from aluminum to hardened tool steel—and understand how to optimize for durability, precision, and operator safety.
