See What's Possible When Innovation Meets Real Challenges
Intech Medical
Intech Medical regularly works with challenging materials to manufacture delicate, hard to hold parts.
After working with traditional fixture design and workholding solutions, they were introduced to the Blue Photon solution and were hooked!
Thomas/Euclid Industries
Thomas/Euclid Industries found themselves experimenting with different workholding methods for their short run aluminum workpiece requiring tight tolerances. Traditional workholding was creating too much force for the soft material causing the part to go out of tolerance resulting in rework and and scrap.
The Blue Photon system proved to be the most viable solution. Blue Photon engineers even designed the fixtures for four variants of the irregular shaped parts!

"Your product is awesome. We put indicators on the part just to make sure it wasn’t moving, and it wasn’t. I am very confident that the part is in a free state during machining. the part didn’t budge when we released it from the first operation, when the part is restrained. Anyway, thank you all for your help and support."

“We’ve improved our processes by simplifying. We’re removing operations – where traditionally I might have to grind a part and add multiple steps, I can now do everything in one shot on a simpler fixture, so I’m able to remove processing steps and increase our profits by removing inputs. It’s helped us tremendously.”

"Typically, we remove a quarter of the lead-time and about a quarter of the cost of NPI (new product introduction) on a blade using the combination of Blue Photon and additive manufacture of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) fixtures. It's incredibly powerful because if you can respond rapidly to NPI, you stand a better chance of getting the volume work of an aero engine programme."
