Jiga

Humotech, leaders in wearable robotics, was dealing with custom parts supplier issues. These issues were slowing them down and putting their projects at risk. Humotech turned to Jiga to solve these challenges. Jiga connected them with vetted manufacturers and helped speed up their workflow and create better processes for their team. Check out the full story in the video.

Choosing between stainless steel and titanium or its alloys is often easy! Take this combustion chamber: It needs to handle high temperatures, but weight isn’t a concern, so stainless steel is the clear choice. While titanium has its place, it’s not always necessary. When you’re deciding between the two, keep these in mind: ✅ Weight and strength trade-offs ✅ Sector specifics ✅ Cost considerations ✅ Corrosion resistance ✅ Environmental impact ✅ Manufacturability Each factor plays a role in making the best choice for your project. Check out our guide to make it easier. ⬇

The ARM Institute's 2024 Annual Member Meeting in Pittsburgh was a blast! Clay Williams and Michael Amico were out there repping Jiga, showing how we’re shaking up the sourcing game—making custom parts transparent, reliable, and dare we say, a bit more fun. Big thanks to everyone who came by and shared some laughs (and ideas) with us.

When Mike (Michael Amico) and the team first pitched the idea of a machined Catan board, we thought it was a joke (probably because they were drunk and after 3 rounds of Catan). Fast forward to IMTS, and not only did we pull it off, but it ended up being our most successful conference yet. Hundreds of leads later, here’s what we learned: • Get Drunk • Get Creative • Get Crazy • Play Catan Michael Amico Jeremy Mills Todd Miner Clay Williams And the winner: Chad Thompson 👑

Tired of back-and-forths with suppliers over part dimensions? Our new measurement tool in Jiga lets you check thickness, diameter, and lengths—all without leaving your browser. Quick. Accurate. No more second-guessing.

“I’ve found such value in Jiga that I've recommended it to all my colleagues in manufacturing.” In manufacturing, direct communication with suppliers is critical. Using Jiga, Sean was able to get consistent results on complex parts and eliminating the hassle of dealing with international transactions.

Ever made a design revision shortly after submitting parts for quote?  You'd have to open two windows in your CAD and start comparing changes. Not anymore! Our new feature lets you easily compare your original and updated models side by side or overlayed, directly on Jiga. This makes it simple to: - spot the differences at a glance - ensuring you’ve uploaded the correct version - helping suppliers re-quote faster - enable decision-makers who may be unfamiliar with the revisions to quickly understand the changes Save time and streamline your workflow with Jiga.

Last week we hosted Jiga's inaugural Catan Night at Studio 45! No thought leadership, no panel discussions, just pure fun! We're already planning our next game in August. Know someone who could win against Michael Amico or Todd Miner? Drop a comment or send us a DM so we could save you a seat!

Effective communication with your suppliers is crucial for sourcing custom parts. Here’s how to make it happen: ✅ Ensure all your specifications are clear from the start. ✅ Stay in touch with your supplier throughout production. ✅ Help suppliers meet your standards and improve for future iterations. ✅ Use direct communication platforms to resolve issues quickly and clearly. Many large manufacturers don't facilitate direct communication with suppliers, leading to delays and errors. One of our customers shared how Jiga helped overcome these challenges with seamless, transparent communication.
