What is a fixture maker?

Fixture makers are skilled tradespeople who design, build, and assemble specialized tools, jigs, and fixtures used in manufacturing and assembly processes. These fixtures help hold, support, or position workpieces accurately during machining, welding, or inspection. Fixture makers work closely with engineers and machinists to ensure that fixtures are precise and meet production requirements. Their expertise is essential to improving efficiency, quality, and safety in industrial environments.
