Metal 3D Printed Sensor Fixtures for Aerospace Ground Tests

Develop tooling and test hardware around your ground-test requirements.

Is this service right for your project?

Develop compact sensor positioning fixtures for ground-test programs. Start with your intended use and the result you need to verify. We define the proposed scope around your files rather than treating a catalogue image as a stock part.

Material and process options

Candidate materials: aluminium, titanium or stainless steel alloys. Exact grade, process availability, build orientation, support removal, heat treatment and secondary machining are confirmed in the written quotation.

What needs engineering review?

Define the ground-test setup, interfaces, loads, temperature, instrumentation and acceptance criteria. Flight use and airworthiness qualification are outside this catalogue offer.

Application-specific information

Provide a controlled CAD model, dimensioned drawing, part number, revision, units, quantity and target date. Include instrument geometry, positioning datums, fixture loads, cabling and test environment.

Finishing and verification

Dimensional verification, repeatable positioning and project-specific ground-test acceptance. Mark critical tolerances and surface requirements on the drawing. Material records, dimensional reports and specialist testing are included only when explicitly agreed.

How your project is defined with NEXFORGE AM

What to include in your enquiry

• STEP or another agreed CAD format and a dimensioned PDF drawing.
• Part number, drawing revision, units, quantity and delivery country.
• Material grade, finish, critical fits, threads and cosmetic requirements.
• Operating environment, intended use and required tests or documentation.
• Target date, repeat-order expectations and any confidentiality requirements.

From enquiry to delivery

1. Share your brief. Send the files and identify the decision or test this part must support.
2. Confirm feasibility and scope. Resolve design questions, material choice and acceptance criteria.
3. Approve the quotation and revision. Agree the manufacturing scope, price, schedule and commercial terms.
4. Build to the agreed plan. Include finishing and verification specified in the order.
5. Review the delivered result. Check part identification and agreed records against the approved drawing.

Questions buyers ask

What determines price and lead time?

Geometry, material, quantity, process, post-processing and inspection scope. Share a required date so it can be checked before commitment. There is no fixed catalogue manufacturing price.

Can I start with a prototype?

Ask for a prototype or first-article stage and state the later batch quantity. Agree what the first sample must demonstrate before authorizing repeat production.

What if the part does not match the agreed drawing?

Provide the order reference, revision, photographs and measurement evidence. Review is against the accepted specification and order terms.

Project scope and responsible use

NEXFORGE AM is the manufacturing-services brand of GROCERYSTORE CO., LIMITED. Material and process availability, tolerances, documentation and delivery are confirmed per quotation. Prototype acceptance does not establish road, race, flight, medical or safety-critical approval. Required supplier certification and application validation must be confirmed before ordering.
