01 / The problem
What it costs when it goes wrong
A bad setup scraps a good part.
On a part worth six figures, one shifted setup or one warped weld turns a finished part into scrap and a long wait for a replacement.
A slow setup idles a costly machine.
Every hour spent indicating and shimming is an hour the spindle doesn’t cut. On a large machining center, that hour is expensive.
Our fixtures locate the part the same way every time, so the first part and the hundredth part match.
02 / Why Springfield
Why teams choose Springfield
01
We machine what we fixture.
We run boring mills, jig mills, and machining centers, so we design fixtures that work on the floor.
02
Repeatable setups.
Fixtures locate on the part’s datums, so setup takes minutes, not hours.
03
Machining, weld, and coating in one family.
Machining fixtures, weld-prep and orbital weld fixtures, grit-blast and coating masks.
04
Field-ready kits.
Portable machining head kits take precision to the part when the part can’t come to the shop.

Ask an engineer for relevant examples under NDA.
Hold it right the first time. Tell us about the part. We’ll design the fixture. Talk with an engineer →
Drawings and models move through a secure link we send you, never through the website.
05 / FAQs
Technical & procurement questions
Do I need a finished drawing to start?
No. A part, a photo, a sketch, a failed process, or a plain description of the problem is enough to begin. Engineering helps define what the hardware needs to become.
Can you work under an NDA?
Yes. An NDA is available on request before you share details.
How do I send drawings?
Not through this website. Start an RFQ and we reply with a secure upload link. All drawings and specs move through that link to keep them confidential.
The design does not have to be finished before we talk.
Bring us a requirement, application, existing tool, photo, sketch, component, or drawing.
Path 1
Talk with an engineer
Describe the application or problem. No drawing needed.
Path 2
Send an RFQ
Have a drawing or spec? Start an RFQ and we’ll send you a secure link to transfer it, so your files stay confidential.
