What is a fixture designer?

Fixture Designers are professionals who create specialized tools, known as fixtures, which are used to securely hold, support, and position workpieces during manufacturing processes such as machining, assembly, or inspection. Their designs ensure precision, repeatability, and safety in production environments, making the manufacturing process more efficient. Fixture Designers typically use CAD software to develop custom solutions that meet specific requirements of the product and machinery involved. They work closely with engineers, machinists, and production teams to optimize manufacturing workflows and improve product quality.
