This project presents an advanced AI-assisted generative fixture design framework capable of creating lightweight, high-stiffness CNC fixtures. The integration of FEA, topology optimization, generative AI, and ANN significantly improves fixture performance while reducing material usage. Design 3 emerged as the most structurally efficient solution. ANN validation proved extremely accurate, supporting fast, data-driven decision-making. Overall, this work demonstrates a practical pathway toward autonomous, intelligent fixture design aligned with Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 principles.
Future enhancements may include:
Integration of IoT and real-time sensors to monitor temperature, vibration, and deformation during machining.
Closed-loop feedback systems, allowing fixtures to self-adjust based on ANN and LLM corrective logic.
Additive manufacturing of optimized geometries, enabling complex organic shapes and lattice structures.
Training ANN with larger simulation and experimental datasets for improved generalization.
Full automation of fixture design using LLM-based generative engineering pipelines.
These advancements can lead to fully autonomous, self-optimizing fixture systems for next-generation intelligent factories.
