Both the jigs and the fixtures are used to reduce the nonproductive time of any mass
production process.
The principle of location or the 3-2-1 principle, CAD tools (like ProE), and FEA tools
(like ANSYS) are used for the design of the jigs as well as the fixtures.
The jig is used for guiding the cutting tool (like a drill bit), and for doing so, jigs have
components like a bush, which comes in contact with the cutting tool.
On the other hand, a fixture never comes into direct contact with the cutting tool.
Fixtures assure the position and alignment of the workpieces for getting the required
machining operation done.
