Custom In-House Tooling and CMM Fixtures Built Right

Tooling isn't one thing. It's a category that covers CMM fixtures, inspection aids, production jigs, welding fixtures, assembly alignment tools, and custom equipment purpose-built for a specific manufacturing step. At Laser Med Tech, we design and fabricate across that full range. We work with medical device, life sciences, aerospace, and industrial clients — and the requirements differ significantly across those sectors. A CMM fixture for a Class II medical component has different traceability and tolerance requirements than a welding jig for an aerospace bracket. We account for that difference from the first design conversation, not after the first build. Check out our facility to see the environment where this work gets done.

Off-the-shelf works until your part geometry doesn't fit the standard envelope, your tolerance stack requires controlled contact points, or your production rate makes setup time a real cost factor. Custom tooling pays for itself fast in those scenarios. We won't tell you that you need custom tooling if a standard solution does the job — that's not a conversation that helps either of us. But when your part is a tight-tolerance medical component or a complex aerospace geometry, off-the-shelf fixturing is rarely the right call. Pair custom tooling with our precision laser tube cutting and laser welding capabilities, and you've got a vertically integrated development path that doesn't require three separate vendors to align.

The development sequence matters. Laser Med Tech moves from design concept through prototype validation to production tooling without handing the project off between phases. We use 3D printing to validate locating geometry and probe access before finalizing fabrication specs. Where the application calls for it, prototype composite and silicon molding gives us soft tooling options that reduce lead time on early-stage builds. This integrated path from concept to production-ready fixture is how we accelerate your time to market without trading away dimensional accuracy.
