Manufacturing Setup Automation
Modular Fixture Designer (MFD)
Modular Fixture Designer (MFD) is a state-of-the-art solution for manufacturing setup automation. Automate the stack-up process with intelligent selection strategies for various setup components. Work within one solution: Siemens NX™ to complete the entire process without any need of data translation.
Fixture system is a set of devices to securely hold the position of workpiece during machining process. Modularized fixture system is a high-performance solution, especially for mold manufactures.
Keeping user benefits in mind, we have also partnered with FCS System, who is a renowned industry leader.
