How it Works
Nucleo Welding Fixture creates an interlocked grid of X and Y fixture blades connected to a mating base plate from an imported solid CAD model. The top profile of each X or Y blade matches the underside of the component at the blade’s insertion position, creating a “cradle” into which the component is located.
Nucleo Fixture includes a range of standard CAD translators including IGES, Solidworks, SolidEdge, IronCAD, Inventor DWG and DXF, CATIA, Pro Engineer, STEP and Unigraphics.
Return on Investment
Compared to traditional welding fixture costs, Nucleo Fixture results in enough overall savings to pay for itself within a small number of fixture runs. Dewys Manufacturing saved over $6700 in the first 3 months of use.

What our Customers say
“I will say that so far we have been very pleased with the software. We have made numerous weld fixtures and some fixtures to hold parts for laser cutting. In fact, after seeing how well the software is performing we have started looking into getting another robot welder. Needless to say, it has already become a valuable resource for us.”
– Mark Conner, IMEC, Monett, MO
$6740.44 SAVINGS IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS:
“We have made about 8 new fixtures last quarter. We estimated each fixture saved on average $500 in material, labor, and programming time…”
Curtis Kolarik, Manufacturing Engineer, Dewys Manufacturing, Marne, MI
“I wanted to thank you for your assistance Friday. With your help we were able to build the attached welding fixtures by yesterday afternoon. I can’t thank you enough, have plans on another that is urgent later in the week.”
Christopher Lang, E-Z-Go (Textron Specialized Vehicles), Augusta, GA
“This software has changed the game for our welding fixtures in accuracy and development time. Installing them is a breeze and I would highly recommend. For example, I finished 32 fixtures in 2 weeks. Before, it would’ve taken 2 weeks for a smaller fixture.”
– Jordan Miller, American Landmaster
Case Studies
Apex Tool Group used Nucleo to help automate the manufacture of toolboxes in their robot cell, including pneumatic clamps.
Gilbert manufacture heavy equipment for industries including forestry and construction. This FaaS® project used 0.25″ material with “gripper points” to offset the fixture from the part surface.
