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.

This book provides a total solution of CAFD, including planning, design, and design verification
Practical and comprehensive theoretical analysis of fixturing from real industrial application projects
Introduces the integration of fixture design and analysis with CAD/CAM so that detailed geometric information can be processed and complex fixture designs can be designed and analyzed

From the Back Cover

Advanced Computer-Aided Fixture Design discusses the fundamentals of Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) techniques and covers fixture planning, the design of both modular and dedicated fixtures, and the integration with CAD/CAM. The book uses case studies to introduce the applications of CAFD to industry, and shows how CAFD may lead to a significant reduction of product and process development time and production cost. The reader will learn 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. This book can be used as either a textbook for advanced engineering courses, or as a reference for engineers in manufacturing and industry. The reader will benefit from the techniques introduced in solving production problems, will gain the skills to compare fixture design alternatives, and will learn to develop applications systems for fixture design and analysis.
