Pattren & Fixture makers are highly skilled crafters working in the manufacturing industries. Variations on the name include tool maker, toolmaker, die maker, diemaker, mold maker, moldmaker or tool jig and die-maker depending on which area of concentration or industry an individual works in.

Tool making typically means making tooling used to produce products. Common tooling includes metal forming rolls, cutting tools (such as tool bits and milling cutters), fixtures, or even whole machine tools used to manufacture, hold, or test products during their fabrication. Due to the unique nature of a tool maker's work, it is often necessary to fabricate custom tools or modify standard tools

Pattren & Fixture pattern making is a crucial process in sand casting, which involves creating a precise pattern or model that serves as a template for casting the desired metal component. It begins with designing the pattern using materials like wood, plastic, or metal. Next, skilled pattern makers shape the pattern, taking into account factors such as shrinkage and draft angles. The pattern is then used to create a mold cavity in sand, into which molten metal is poured. After solidification, the mold is broken to reveal the final cast component. Accurate pattern making is essential for producing high-quality castings with the desired dimensions and surface finish.
