Free Jig & Fixture Design Checklist

Design Better Jigs & Fixtures With Confidence

Whether you're a Production Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Tooling Engineer, CNC Programmer, Apprentice, or Engineering Student, this free checklist will help you design safer, more reliable, and more efficient jigs and fixtures.

Drawing on over 20 years of engineering experience, I've created a practical checklist that covers the key considerations often missed during fixture design reviews.

What's Included?

✔ Design concepts and work-holding principles

✔ The 3-2-1 location method

✔ Material selection and durability considerations

✔ Clamping and force analysis guidance

✔ Machine interface and automation requirements

✔ Safety and ergonomic design checks

✔ SMED and quick-changeover considerations

✔ Lean manufacturing and mistake-proofing principles

✔ Maintenance and sustainability requirements

✔ Regulatory compliance considerations

✔ Continuous improvement and feedback loops
