Jigs, Fixtures & Custom Tooling, Built to Your Process.
From a single checking fixture to a full set of production tooling, we coordinate the design and manufacturing of jigs, fixtures and custom tooling through our European partner network.
The Challenge
A new part or production line often needs dedicated tooling before it can run reliably: a fixture to hold a part accurately for machining or welding, a gauge to check it, or a jig to keep an assembly step repeatable. Internal tooling departments are frequently at capacity exactly when this work is needed most.
Off-the-shelf tooling rarely fits a specific part or process well, and outsourcing fixture design and manufacturing separately to different suppliers introduces the same coordination overhead as any multi-supplier project.
How CNCsupplier Helps
We coordinate both the engineering and the manufacturing of jigs, fixtures and custom tooling as one project, so the fixture is designed around your actual part, process and tolerances rather than adapted from a generic design.
Fixtures are engineered by our mechanical engineering team and manufactured through our European partner network, with iteration on the design possible before final manufacturing is released.

How It Works
- Upload your drawing, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file or specification
- Technical review by our engineering team
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM) input where useful
- Quotation covering process, material and lead time
- Manufacturing at a qualified European partner facility
- Quality control and documentation as agreed
- Export packaging and international delivery
Quality & Documentation
Depending on project requirements, documentation can include material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) reports, First Article Inspection, hardness certificates, coating documentation, part traceability and photo documentation. Requirements are confirmed per quotation and are available depending on project requirements.
Why CNCsupplier
- One commercial and technical point of contact instead of coordinating several suppliers directly
- Engineering support based in Germany, backed by a European manufacturing network
- Flexible capacity across CNC milling, turning, 5-axis machining and related processes
- Suited to complex, low- and medium-volume work that is hard to place with a single local shop
- Competitive total landed cost, including logistics and export handling
Designed for Your Process, Not a Catalog
Fixture design goes through the same mechanical engineering process as any other component: a technical review of the part and process, a design proposal, and manufacturing once the design is confirmed — part of our combined engineering and manufacturing service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design the fixture as well as manufacture it?
Yes. Fixture design is handled by our mechanical engineering team, with manufacturing following through our European partner network.
Can you build a single fixture, not a whole set?
Yes. Projects range from a single checking fixture to a complete tooling set for a production line.
Do you build welding fixtures for robotic cells?
Yes, welding fixtures for both manual and robotic/automated cells are within scope.
Can you match an existing fixture we already use?
Yes, an existing fixture can be measured and used as a reference for a replacement or additional unit.
What materials do you typically use for fixtures and jigs?
Material selection depends on the application — typically tool steel, aluminum or mild steel — and is confirmed during the engineering phase.
