Certain polymers are reinforced with glass
fibres, carbon fibres and other additives in order to
enhance their properties. The enhancement in the
mechanical properties of any polymer will tend to a
favourable condition of its machinability like any other
alloys. This article focuses on the design of drilling
fixture to produce a recess that is an internal feature,
that could not be incorporated in the injection moulding
tool. To design any fixture there are fundamental
concepts that are to be followed, but to avoid the error in
dimensions or in the tolerances or the design itself,
computer aided fixture design is one of the best ways to
develop the fixtures. This allows the manufacturers to
virtually simulate, minimize errors and ensure human
safety as well.
