Subscription service launched for 3D fixture modelling software

Renishaw’s FixtureBuilder 3D fixture-modelling software is now available via a subscription service, and customers can take advantage of a complimentary 12-month subscription to this highly accessible fixture-planning software when they purchase qualifying metrology fixturing products or bundles.

The software allows quick creation and documentation of advanced CAD-based metrology fixturing setups for repeatable and productive part inspection. Users have access to the full catalogue of Renishaw metrology fixturing components when designing and documenting their modular fixturing setups.

The software has well-organized component libraries, intelligent drag-and-drop functionality, and an easy-to-use constraint mechanism, the company states. Its full CAD compatibility and custom libraries further enhance the user experience, and 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.

FixtureBuilder 8.1 is the latest version of this software. It enables design of fixturing setups in seconds and then exports them to inspection programming software of choice, using popular file formats like IGES, SAT, and STEP.
