Fixture 3D-printed elements (additive manufacturing)

We designed an automotive fixture with an innovative technology: the connecting elements of the samples are made with a 3D printer.


The main advantage of this technology is that it faithfully replicates the shape and material of the real mechanical connection.

A fixture that provides precise and predictable responses to mechanical stresses is essential to obtain useful and reliable data during testing.

By applying this technology to an automotive fixture for the first time, CENTROTECNICA Srl's design department has taken an important step in the improvement of these fundamental accessories for vibration testing
