3D-Printed fixtures

I'm looking into easy fixture solutions and was thinking about 3D printed fixtures. Would that be possible. I'm wondering if I could make some fixture arms, or even some standoffs, or if needed some complex fixtures. That being said, what filament would work well for both precision and accuracy as well as durability. PLA and ABS look like good candidates. Or am I wasting my time?

  • I've printed everything from rough hand gauge tooling to vise jaws for cutoff applications to hold welded assemblies in a specific orientation to even rudimentary form tooling for thin sheet metal with a hobbyist grade plastics printer. We've purchased 3D printed from here exotic alloy low quantity production tooling from companies as well
