Renishaw launches fixture modelling software at Control

Renishaw is launching FixtureBuilder at Control 2016, taking place in Stuttgart, Germany from 26-29 April.

FixtureBuilder is a 3D modelling software package designed to allow the off-line creation and documentation of fixturing set-ups for Renishaw metrology equipment and other applications.

Featuring intelligent drag-and-drop functionality, quick manipulation of parts, an easy-to-use constraint mechanism and clear component libraries, the software is said to be easy to use.

User experience is further enhanced by the software's full CAD compatibility and the availability of custom libraries.

A key benefit is the ‘Build it' function that automates the production of work instructions and Bill of Materials for every fixture set-up, to help ensure compliance with quality standards and assist with product ordering.

The software is available to purchase through the Renishaw distribution network as well as the Renishaw web shop. A free 7-day demo is also available upon request.
