Renishaw's FixtureBuilder is a 3D fixture modelling software for creating fixturing set-ups. It offers the 'Build it' feature to generate work instructions and support off-line programming for CMM, Equator™ gauging, and vision inspection. Why Renishaw FixtureBuilder software? Renishaw's FixtureBuilder is a user-friendly software, for creating fixtures which can be integrated with inspection software. By being able to create a fixture virtually, the user can create a fixture set-up before workpieces have even met production. Second to this the 'Build it' functionality creates a simple set of work instructions to ensure anyone can easily recreate the fixture, ensuring the fixture is reliable and repeatable. Users have access to the full catalogue of Renishaw metrology fixturing components when designing and documenting their modular fixturing set-ups. This software can be used with a CAD model of the inspected workpiece, which is imported into FixtureBuilder, so that the fixture can be built around it. The entire set-up, along with the inspected workpiece, can then be exported into inspection programming software. FixtureBuilder supports most CAD formats including IGES, SAT and STEP. FixtureBuilder offers a wide range of customer benefits, derived from Renishaw's outstanding understanding of metrology best practice and workpiece inspection. New subscription service Customers can now take advantage of a complimentary 12-month subscription to this highly accessible fixture-planning software, when they purchase qualifying metrology fixturing products or bundles.
