Why Choose Plastic Jigs & Fixtures Over Metal?
When engineers think about jigs and fixtures, metal often comes to mind first. But precision plastic fixtures offer distinct advantages that make them the superior choice for many manufacturing applications. Here's why leading manufacturers worldwide are switching to CNC machined plastic workholding solutions.
Non-Marring & Surface-Safe
Unlike metal fixtures that scratch, dent, or damage delicate workpieces, non-marring plastic fixtures provide gentle yet secure contact. Ideal for handling polished surfaces, optical components, painted parts, anodized aluminum, and products where cosmetic appearance matters. Industries like consumer electronics, automotive interiors, and medical devices particularly benefit from surface-safe plastic jigs.
Lightweight Design (40-80% Lighter)
Lightweight plastic fixtures weigh 40-80% less than metal equivalents. For robotic applications, lighter end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) means faster cycle times, reduced robot wear, and lower energy consumption. For manual assembly, lightweight assembly jigs reduce operator fatigue and improve ergonomics throughout long shifts.
Electrical Insulation & ESD Protection
In electronics manufacturing, electrical properties matter as much as mechanical ones. Electrical insulation fixtures prevent short circuits and protect sensitive components. For static-sensitive applications, we offer ESD-safe fixture materials including static dissipative G10, ESD Bakelite, and Durostone with controlled surface resistivity (10⁶ to 10⁹ ohms).
Self-Lubricating & Chemical Resistant
Materials like Delrin (POM), Nylon, and UHMW-PE offer inherent self-lubricating properties. Unlike metal fixtures that rust or corrode, chemical resistant plastic fixtures maintain integrity when exposed to acids, bases, solvents, and cleaning agents—ideal for laboratories, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Faster Machining & Cost Efficiency
Plastic materials machine faster than metals with lower tool wear and reduced machining time. This translates into shorter lead times and lower per-part costs for your custom fixture manufacturing.
For prototype fixtures and short production runs, plastic offers an economical alternative to machined aluminum or fabricated steel. Iterate designs quickly, test multiple fixture concepts, and refine your manufacturing process without high tooling costs.
Materials for Custom Plastic Jigs & Fixtures
Selecting the right material is crucial for fixture performance. Different applications demand different properties—dimensional stability, high-temperature resistance, electrical insulation, or chemical compatibility. Our material experts help you choose the optimal plastic for your specific jig and fixture application.
Engineering Thermoplastics
Thermoset Laminates & Composites
G10 & FR4 Fixtures (Garolite)
G10 and FR4 fiberglass epoxy laminates rank among the most popular materials for electrical and electronic test fixtures. These glass-reinforced composites offer exceptional dimensional stability, high mechanical strength, and outstanding electrical insulation properties.
G10 fixtures provide maximum mechanical strength for heavy-duty jigs without flame-retardancy requirements. FR4 fixtures add UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy, mandatory for PCB test fixtures, ICT jigs, burn-in boards, and electronic testing equipment.

G11, FR5 & High-Temp Grades
For elevated temperature applications, G11 and FR5 laminates extend temperature capabilities of standard G10/FR4. These enhanced grades maintain mechanical strength and electrical properties at temperatures up to 170-180°C, suitable for lead-free soldering fixtures and high-temperature test applications.
G7 silicone glass extends to 220°C for extreme temperature environments. GPO-3 provides 180-second arc resistance for high-voltage switchgear applications.
Bakelite (Phenolic) Jigs & Fixtures
Bakelite phenolic laminates provide cost-effective electrical insulation for countless jig and fixture applications. Available in multiple grades:
- Paper phenolic (XX/XXX): Excellent electrical properties, lowest cost—drilling pads, terminal boards
- Canvas phenolic (C/CE): Higher impact strength—gears, pulleys, mechanical fixtures
- Linen phenolic (L/LE): Finest machinability—precision parts with intricate features
💡 G10 vs FR4 Quick Comparison
Both are fiberglass epoxy laminates with similar properties. The key difference: FR4 contains flame-retardant additives (UL 94 V-0 rated), while G10 offers maximum mechanical strength without flame retardancy. Choose FR4 when fire safety is required; choose G10 when strength is the priority.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best plastic material for jigs and fixtures?
The best material depends on your specific application. For general-purpose precision fixtures, Delrin (POM) offers excellent dimensional stability and machinability. For electrical applications, G10 or FR4 provides superior insulation. For high-temperature applications, PEEK or Durostone may be necessary. Our material specialists help you select the optimal material based on operating conditions and budget.
What is the difference between G10 and FR4?
Both G10 and FR4 are fiberglass epoxy laminates with similar mechanical and electrical properties. The key difference is flame retardancy: FR4 contains flame-retardant additives making it self-extinguishing (UL 94 V-0 rated), while standard G10 does not. Choose FR4 when fire safety is required (PCB test fixtures, electronic testing). Choose G10 when maximum mechanical strength is the priority.
Why use plastic fixtures instead of metal?
Plastic fixtures offer several advantages: they won't scratch or damage delicate parts (non-marring), they weigh 40-80% less than metal (lightweight), they provide excellent electrical insulation, they resist corrosion and chemicals, and they often cost less to manufacture. Choose plastic when surface protection, weight reduction, electrical insulation, or corrosion resistance are important.
What materials are suitable for wave solder pallets?
Wave solder pallets require materials withstanding high temperatures (280-380°C) and aggressive flux chemicals. Durostone and Ricocel are industry-standard materials offering excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and machinability. High-temperature FR4/FR5 variants can serve lower-temperature applications. These materials should also provide ESD-safe properties (10⁶ to 10⁹ ohms surface resistivity).
What tolerances can you achieve on plastic fixtures?
Our standard CNC machining tolerance is ±0.03mm (±0.0012"). For critical features, we achieve tighter tolerances down to ±0.01mm with appropriate material selection and machining techniques. Note that different plastics have different dimensional stability—materials like G10 and Delrin hold tight tolerances more easily than flexible materials like UHMW-PE or PTFE.
Do you have minimum order quantities?
No minimum order quantity (NO MOQ). We manufacture single prototype fixtures through high-volume production runs. This flexibility allows you to test fixture designs before committing to large quantities, and order exactly what you need without overbuying. One piece or 10,000—we deliver the same precision quality.
How quickly can you deliver custom fixtures?
Typical lead time for custom plastic fixtures is 5-10 working days after order confirmation, depending on complexity and material availability. Simple fixtures using in-stock materials can ship within 3-5 days. Expedited manufacturing options available for urgent requirements. We ship globally to USA, Europe, Australia, and worldwide.
