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.

Bakelite phenolic laminate electrical insulation fixture

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 plastic robot end effector gripper EOAT

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.

Durostone wave solder pallet for SMT PCB assembly

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).

UHMW-PE self-lubricating sliding fixture

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

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.

Can you machine complex 3D fixture shapes?

Yes! Our 5-axis CNC machining centers handle complex 3D geometries including undercuts, compound angles, and organic shapes. We machine virtually any fixture design that can be defined in CAD. For extremely complex designs, our free DFM review ensures manufacturability and optimizes for efficient production.
