# Fixture Generator

This course introduces the fixturing and masking workflows that allow nTop users to easily fixture, secure, or prepare parts for assembly, remanufacturing, or CMM measuring. This course will introduce the user to the custom blocks designed for these operations, how to manipulate the inputs to get desired results and how to properly mesh and export the fixtures to be printed.

**Prerequisites:** [101: nTop Essentials](/lessons/ntop-essentials/overview)

**What will be covered:**

* Jigs & Fixture Workflows
* Masking for Remanufacturing
