The modular clamping system for 3D-printed workpieces for post-processing

The technology of 3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing and enables the production of workpieces with highly complex geometries. However, this complexity presents a particular challenge when it comes to machine post-processing or precise measurement of the workpieces. To machine functional surfaces with the required precision or to remove support structures, the workpieces must be securely fixed.

Challenge: Secure fixation of complex workpieces

Securely fixing such complex shapes, whether for machining or metrology, is essential to achieve the required precision and surface quality. Conventional clamping systems often reach their limits here, increasing the need for innovative solutions.

The solution: Modular clamping systems from MATRIX

MATRIX’s modular clamping systems offer a flexible and efficient solution to this challenge. These systems are designed to optimally adapt to the specific requirements of post-processing and metrology.

Application in machining

The X-Clamp system was specifically developed for use in machining, where higher forces and high dirt resistance are required. This system can be mounted on machine vises as a clamping jaw or used as a flexible support directly on the machine table. It reliably withstands the effects of coolants and chips while ensuring a secure grip even with rough workpiece tolerances

Conclusion

With MATRIX’s modular clamping technology, 3D-printed workpieces can be quickly, securely, and flexibly fixed, whether for post-processing or in metrology. The use of adaptive clamping tools makes it possible to avoid high costs for specific clamping devices while significantly reducing setup times. MATRIX offers you tailored solutions that optimize your processes and reduce your production costs. Our team is happy to assist you in selecting the right system.
