Renishaw is also a manufacturer, with a product portfolio that includes a wide range of complementary technologies, such as industrial metrology hardware and software, additive manufacturing solutions, and position measurement technologies. The company offers a range of modular and custom fixturing and software for use with coordinate measuring machines, Equator gauges, and vision systems. Renishaw’s modular CMM fixtures can also be expanded according to requirements to provide a complete fixturing solution for any part regardless of its size, shape, or material.

However, someone has to pay for this content. And that’s where advertising comes in. Most people consider ads a nuisance, but they do serve a useful function besides allowing media companies to stay afloat. They keep you aware of new products and services relevant to your industry.

Renishaw’s FixtureBuilder software boasts an intuitive interface, complete with clear and well-organized component libraries, intelligent drag-and-drop functionality, and an easy-to-use constraint mechanism. Its full CAD compatibility and custom libraries further enhance the user experience. The software’s standout feature is its “Build It” function, which automates the generation of work instructions and bill of materials for each fixture setup. This simplifies the purchase of fixturing components and helps users to meet quality standards.

“Our fast and flexible FixtureBuilder software is a powerful addition to any manufacturer’s inspection workflow,” says Will Paul, product marketing manager. “The weakest link in an inspection process is often the ability to design and document comprehensive fixturing setups with ease and speed. FixtureBuilder gives our customers confidence in the positioning of their parts.”
