Plastic parts for the details of your machine.
From assembly stations to machine modifications: FORMACT manufactures custom fixtures, adapters, format and replacement parts for mechanical and special-purpose engineering. Tailored to your installation space, existing interfaces and next process step.
Made to suit your task. With CAD data or a description of your requirements.
Custom solutions often start with a specific task.
An assembly needs aligning for fastening, a cable needs a new holder or a fixture needs to accommodate the next product format. These tasks connect design and workshop practice. We support you with suitable plastic parts and simple assembled fixtures whose geometry follows your machine, workpiece and intended workflow.
Assembly fixtures for subassemblies
Contoured holders and accessible stops position parts for joining or fastening. Threaded inserts, bolts and locating pins can form part of the assembled fixture.
Production aids & fixturesGauges for defined positions
Drill jigs with metal bushes and simple inspection gauges transfer or compare agreed geometries. The locating surfaces and tool access are designed together.
Gauges & inspection toolsAdapters for existing interfaces
Sensor mounts, spacers or tool adapters connect new components to existing mounting points. Cable routes and assembly space are considered throughout.
Retrofits & adapter partsFormat parts for product variants
Interchangeable guides and inserts adapt an existing holder to additional contours. Clear markings help identify the intended variant.
Format & changeover partsCovers and custom brackets
Custom plastic covers or missing brackets are manufactured from data or clear specifications. Their geometry and material reflect their purpose at the installation site.
Replacement & custom partsDesign support close to manufacturing.
We check and prepare CAD data, adapt simple geometries and design brackets, gauges or holders to clear specifications. For more extensive design work, we involve specialist CAD and engineering partners. FORMACT remains your point of contact and manufacturing partner.
- Existing interfaces and installation spaces
- Individual parts and simple assembled fixtures
- Agreed data versions for variants and repeat orders
Helping your processes work together.
Consider workshop workflows
Tool access, loading paths and mounting are considered alongside the component shape. The part therefore suits the intended assembly task.
Accommodate changes precisely
New product contours or connection dimensions can be incorporated into adapted inserts and adapters. Existing CAD data remains the starting point.
Simple assemblies from one coordinated brief
The main body and a manageable set of bought-in parts can be delivered as an assembled unit. The agreed scope is clearly described in the quotation.
Materials for technical machine components.
Fixture bodies need suitable rigidity, guides need appropriate contact properties and protective pads need flexibility. We match the material to these functions, as well as the loads and environment at your machine.

FDM and resin as suitable manufacturing processes.
FDM is an option for technical brackets, larger holders and flexible inserts. Resin complements it for small parts with fine details. The choice follows the function and geometry of your component.
Which part of your machine needs a tailored solution?
Send CAD data or describe the component and installation situation. Drawings, sketches and photos help us agree on geometry, material and assembly scope.
Enquire about your custom partGeometry, function and specification follow your task. A description is enough for an initial enquiry; you can add any existing files.
