The challenge
Cured composite parts need trimming and drilling, and doing it by hand makes every part slightly different. A jig fixes the part on known datums so trim lines and holes land in the same place on every part.
[Describe the actual part, the tolerances and the quantities.]
What we did
Stage 1
Datums & locating
We chose datum points on the part and designed locating blocks and clamps around them.
[Your design decisions.]
Stage 2
Build
We manufactured the jig with the tooling method that suited the part and the quantities.
[Tooling method and why.]
Stage 3
Inspection & shipping
We inspected the jig, photographed it for sign-off, then packed and shipped it.
[What was checked.]
The result
[Outcome: consistency, time saved per part, numbers if you have them.]
