Design & Development of Fixture for CNC – Reviews, Practices & Future Directions

Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Implementing Rapid Prototyping Using CNC Machining (CNC-RP) Through a CAD/CAM Interface

This paper presents the methodology and implementation of a rapid machining system using a CAD/CAM interface. Rapid Prototyping using CNC Machining (CNC-RP) is a method that has been developed which enables automatic generation of process plans for a machined component. The challenge with CNC-RP is not the technical problems of material removal, but with all of the required setup, fixture and t...

Multi-agent Systems for Engineering Design of Fixtures

This chapter introduces an agent-based framework for engineering design of fixture systems. A number of researchers have applied the agent technology to engineering design and several agent-based systems have been developed accordingly addressing different application domains in design. Development of multi-agent system for fixture design is motivated by the need for a computational infrastruct...

Design and Fabrication Testing of Combined Multipurpose Jig and Fixture

This proposed method has to design and fabricate the Multipurpose Jig and Fixture, for that component which has been to reduce the manufacturing cycle time. When the component produced on a small size previously this is to produces the large quantities of requirements. The selective components requires for machining operations such as step milling, angle milling & boring and reaming. The few op...
