Abstract
Due to the rapid response required in many manufacturing companies, the fixture design principles must be integrated and properly detailed so as to facilitate the fast design development of a fixture. Flexible, palletized and modular fixtures are quite common in today's industry to maintain rapid tooling in the agile environment. This paper dealt the parts manufactured at the base and some fixtures currently developed and employed for specific applications. It is also important to have the system independent of any operating platforms and commercial CAD software such as Pro/Engineer, Ideas, and Solid Works so that time is not spent learning the complex CAD software. Over the past few years internet technologies have gained a prominent role in commerce, entertainment, information and education. Internet technologies are being exploited by many industries for improving their operations. However, there is very little ongoing research specially focused on using the VR technology as a promising solution to enhance Computer aided fixture design (CAFD) systems capability and functionality. In this paper we used virtual reality to simulate Fixture assembly in a virtual environment. © Research India Publications.
