When a job requires non-standard workholding, IPM designs and machines custom fixtures and tooling in-house. This allows us to hold complex geometries, achieve repeatability on production runs, and machine difficult features that standard vises and chucks can't accommodate. Custom tooling is quoted as part of the initial job setup, no surprise costs mid-job.
