Abstract

Jigs and Fixtures Design are (is) among the core subjects offered at the diploma and degree level of Manufacturing Technology programs. Each student is assigned to create a specific jig design in their assignment task. The scope of the assignments covers a range of processes starting from the generation of ideas, sketches, technical drawings and eds with the prototype development. However, in previous batches of students, they were struggling with the issue of limited equipment and prototype development skills which consequently affects the quality of prototype being produced. To overcome this problem, a modular has been developed using CAD software to help students applying the components that are ready to be used as a jig to hold the workpiece. Through this idea generation method, students just need to select the existing components to develop the jig. They can also use the modular to assist them in their presentation. The results obtained from the use of modular show that students are able to reduce the time taken in developing the jig and are able to visualize the final product based on the proposed ideas.
