In the manufacturing process, workpiece fixturing is essential process for high accuracy machining. However fixturing process has depended on skilled workers because many requirements of knowledge and skills are involved in this process. As a result, skilled worker impose heavy workload and production time is long. In order to reduce the production time and workload, it is necessary to automate the fixturing process. In this paper, workpiece fixturing automated planning system on 3DCAD is proposed. This system is composed of Fixture Planner and Fixture Selector. Fixture Planner determines clamping and locating points and Fixture selector select suitable fixture devices from fixture database automatically. Moreover, the algorithm of this system is mentioned. And an example of this system is presented.
