Soft Jaw Generator

Soft jaws in minutes. Validated before the first cut.

Upload the STEP or STL. Confirm the setup plan. Take an editable jaw STEP back to the shop and cut it from your own blanks.

No CAD license required  /  STEP or STL in  /  Editable STEP out
12x
Faster than hand-modeling jaws
15 minutes
STL & STEP in, custom soft jaw exported
4 checks
Tool access, jaw opening, Z-height, multi-level

Upload to export, in one sitting.

The in-process stock model goes in as a STEP or STL. Custom soft jaws come out, ready to cut. The whole run takes minutes.

VID.01 / Soft Jaw Generator full flow, offset wrench, three setups

Mistakes caught at the desk, not at the mill.

The same constraints that fail a hand-modeled jaw at the machine are verified against the real part and the real vise before the design is finalized.

Jaw faces generated at two levels of a stepped part
01
No more finding interference at the machine.

Square-corner tool access is where hand-modeled jaws go wrong most often. The cutter path is cleared around the part's corners as the jaw form is generated.

02
Every level of a stepped part gets its own jaw face.

Jaw faces are generated at multiple heights instead of forcing a grip on one plane.

03
Setup to setup, the part lands where your program expects it.

Consistent Z-height means the CAM program does not change from setup to setup, or part to part.

04
Every jaw is checked against the travel you actually have.

No designs that only close on paper. The jaw opening is verified against real vise travel.

Four steps. You confirm every one.

01
Upload the STEP or STL.

No re-modeling. No CAD license required.

02
Confirm the setup plan.

Proposed by the system, confirmed by you. Override anything.

03
Generate the jaws.

One pair for every setup the part needs.

04
Export and cut.

Editable STEP, machined from your own jaw stock on your own equipment.

Cut from the blanks already on your shelf.

The built-in jaw blank library covers standard inch and metric sizes. Set length, width, height, and gap, or pick a preset. Every jaw is designed to be machined on your own equipment from your own stock jaws.

The part was checked this way. Now the fixture is too.

Every part that comes out of InfinitForm is built with manufacturability in the loop, from first concept to the shop floor. Soft Jaws applies that same physical intelligence to the workholding.

DFM
Tool access and cutter clearance resolved in the geometry.
FEA
Structural validation on the part before it reaches your spindle.
Topology optimization
Material where the load is, removed where it is not, within what a mill can cut.
Generative design
Geometry generated as real parametric CAD, not a mesh you have to repair.
Workholding
Soft jaws generated and checked for every setup, from the same file.
"I activated a trial and was generating custom soft jaws within minutes for my medical devices. What used to take hours now takes minutes, with no editing to machine."
