Description
Fixtures--the component or assembly that holds a part undergoing machining--must be designed to fit the shape of that part and the type
of machining being done. This book discusses the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) techniques and covers fixture
planning, fixture design (both modular and dedicated fixtures), fixture design verifications, and the overall integration with CAD/CAM.
The book shows how CAFD may lead to a significant reduction of product and process development time and production cost, and how CAFD
can increase quality assurance through simulation and science-based technical specification and cost estimation in business quoting,
especially in current supplier-based manufacturing. It also provides case study examples.
Audience
Graduate students and professionals working with Computaer Aided Fixture Design in engineering
