BIW FIXTURE DESIGN USING CATIA V5

Body in White (B.I.W.) is a welded sheet metal parts (components) that form the vehicle’s structure to assemble with other components i.e., engine, chassis, exterior, and interior trim. At Weld Shop, we call this BIW. It is the Sheet Metal body before heading to the paint shop.

Fixtures, Grippers, Clamping Units, Locating Units, and Dump Units & Pin Units are all covered in-depth in this course.

This Domain Training of BIW Fixture Design gives the insight to Study, understanding, and gaining knowledge of Process Design, 3D Concept Design, Validation, Gun Study, Modification, 3D Finish, and 2D Drafting using GD&T.

The course is structured to start with the fundamentals of fixture design and proceed to the final design. If the fundamentals of fixture design aren’t followed, it can lead to poor productivity and quality issues. The apparent advantages include reduced setup and cycle times, increased component accuracy, and deskilling the job setting operation.
The course emphasizes further on the Fixtures, Grippers, Clamping Units, Locating Units, and Dump Units & Pin Units.

Training also gives an exposure to the Automotive Industry Standards, Design & Manufacturing methodology, and it will help the fresh Engineer to join the industry confidently

For 3D modeling, assembly, bill of materials, and 2D drafting, we use CATIA V5 software. This training is conducted on live and recently executed projects, with a minimum of 5 different projects. POKA YOKE, 3D modeling of parts and assembly, using popular design CAD tools, and preparing the final manufacturing drawings. During the course, topics such as Design for accuracy, manufacturing, and assembly will be covered. It will be a very interactive and hands-on training session that will cover all aspects of fixture design from every angle.
