TLDR
To obtain an acceptable automated machining fixture design, a case-based reasoning method with developed retrieval system is proposed and Visual Basic programming language is used in integrating with SolidWorks API (Application programming interface) module for better retrieval procedure reducing computational time.Abstract:
Automated fixture design plays important role in process planning and integration of CAD and CAM. An automated fixture setup design system is developed where when fixturing surfaces and points are described allowing modular fixture components to get automatically select for generating fixture units and placed into position with satisfying assembled conditions. In past, various knowledge based system have been developed to implement CAFD in practice. In this paper, to obtain an acceptable automated machining fixture design, a case-based reasoning method with developed retrieval system is proposed. Visual Basic (VB) programming language is used in integrating with SolidWorks API (Application programming interface) module for better retrieval procedure reducing computational time. These properties are incorporated in numerical simulation to determine the best fit for practical use.read more

Computer‐aided fixture design verification
TL;DR: In this paper, two models were created for the verification of CAFDV, one geometric and one kinematic, for both modular fixtures and dedicated fixtures, and they were used to verify the following properties: geometric constraining ability, achieved tolerance, fixturing stability, and accessibility.

Local feature extraction and matching partial objects
TL;DR: This paper shows how a Scale–Space technique can extract features that are invariant with respect to the global structure of the model as well as small perturbations that 3D laser scanning process introduce, and introduces a new distance function defined on triangles instead of points.

Case based reasoning method for computer aided welding fixture design
Hui Wang,Yiming Rong +1 more
TL;DR: An approach of data abstraction for fixture design information representation is proposed, first to systemize and manage myriads of fixture related resources, e.g., past fixture design solutions, fixture units depository, and based on this approach, a multi-level CBR method for welding fixture design is presented.
