Traditionally jigs and fixtures have been fabricated or machined from metal, wood or plastic. This method is time consuming often taking days or weeks and can be expensive. The design and manufacture may also be limited by the machine and fabrication processes used.An alternative approach is to manufacture jigs and fixtures using a 3D printer. Not only can they be produced in a matter of hours but they are also considerably cheaper. If modifications are required this can prove costly and take time, especially if a new jig is required. Using 3D printing a new fixture can be produced with very little time lost.The 3D printed jig is 70 to 90% cheaper than traditional manufacturing techniques and this reduces the lead time 40to 50 % than traditional manufacturing techniques.material: nylon 6printing method: SLApart dimension : 120mm*76mm*24mmI am final year student from lokmanya college of engineering,Navi mumbai, India
