I would submit a couple of ideas. First - JNJ Industries makes a tooling plate for MPM printers that is laid out as a grid pattern. Sort of looks like the old battleship game, if you know what I mean. All you have to do is get the support pins into the proper grid holes and you are perfectly repeatable. There is a setup tool that goes with it to help make sure you are not hitting any parts. Second - there is a company called SafeChek (www.safechek.com) that laser cuts ESD safe plastics into templates for almost any purpose. I have them for support pin verification and for component verification after assembly.
