Tooling and Gage Design Services in Indianapolis and INdiana
Precision Tooling and Inspection Solutions Built for Production
Jarrett Engineering provides tooling and gage design services in Indianapolis, Indiana, supporting manufacturers that demand accuracy, repeatability, and production‑ready solutions. Rather than relying on theoretical designs, our engineers focus on practical tooling and inspection systems that perform reliably on the shop floor.
With decades of experience across automotive, industrial, and regulated manufacturing environments, we design tooling and gages that help teams inspect faster, reduce variation, and maintain consistent quality throughout production.
Tooling and Gage Design Tailored to Your Process
Because no two manufacturing processes are alike, Jarrett Engineering designs tooling and gages around your specific parts, tolerances, and inspection requirements. As a result, every solution is tailored to support how your operation actually runs.
Our tooling and gage design services include:
- Production and assembly tooling
- End of Arm Tooling
- Check fixtures and functional gages
- Attribute and variable inspection gages
- Weld fixtures and locating tooling
- Ergonomic operator fixtures
- Prototype and low‑volume tooling
Ultimately, our focus remains on durability, ease of use, and repeatable results under real production conditions.
Production‑Ready Gage and Fixture Design
Effective gage and fixture design requires more than accurate CAD models. Instead, it demands a deep understanding of how inspectors, operators, and quality teams interact with tooling every day.
For that reason, our tooling and gage design capabilities emphasize:
- Datum strategy and robust part‑locating methods
- GD&T‑driven inspection approaches
- Error‑proofing and poka‑yoke features
- Operator‑friendly layouts and ergonomics
- Durable, serviceable materials
- Clear documentation for build and inspection
Consequently, inspectors gain confidence in measurements while operators benefit from faster, more intuitive inspections.

From early concept through production launch, Jarrett Engineering supports tooling and gage programs at every stage. Throughout the process, we collaborate closely with tool shops, quality teams, and manufacturing engineers to ensure smooth execution.
Our full‑lifecycle support includes:
- Inspection and tooling concept development
- Design reviews and feasibility analysis
- 3D CAD modeling and detailed drawings
