FixtureBuilder Software

FixtureBuilder is a 3D-modelling software package designed to allow the creation and documentation of fixturing set-ups. The software can be used with a CAD model of the inspected part, which is imported into FixtureBuilder, so that the fixture can be built around it. The entire set-up, along with the inspected part, can then be exported into inspection programming software. FixtureBuilder supports most CAD formats including IGES, SAT and STEP. A translator add-on module is available for Pro/E and CATIA.
