Abstract: The smart consumer demands for quality product along with the variety, so to cope up with this demand we need a smart market too, having quality and variety as its key factors. For effective respond to this demand we need efficient flexible manufacturing methods, which will let us to gain fast product development. According to studies, fixtures play a very vital role in product manufacturing quality, productivity and cost of the product. Hence designing a fixture according to requirements of the process is very crucial work. This paper is a review of literature survey about Computer Adied Fixture Design and its approaches. It includes the basic importance of fixture and appropriate fixturing techniques, also the design consideration and requirements that are the non negligible factor while fixture designing. It deals with how proper fixture and fixturing techniques are directly proportional to the problem free machining
