News release: FixtureBuilder software (docx)

FixtureBuilder is a 3D-modelling software package designed to allow the off-line creation and documentation of fixturing set-ups. The software can be used with a CAD model of the part to be inspected, which is imported into FixtureBuilder, so that the fixture can be built around it. The entire set-up, along with the part, can then be exported into inspection programming software, using universal file formats such as: IGES, SAT, STEP, etc.. FixtureBuilder offers a wide range of customer benefits, derived from Renishaw's outstanding understanding of metrology best practice and part inspection.
