Traditionally, workpiece holding fixtures have been designed and fabricated only for mass production whereby high lead-time and high cost of fixture design and preparation is justified through huge amount of parts which have been produced. New tendency toward manufacturing of low-volume, high-repetitive products compels manufacturing engineers to modify conventional opinion of fixture design for lowvolume production in order to minimize and if possible eliminate design and preparation of fixtures. A new technology of machining plate like components is represented in this paper and its possibility is validated through a practical test.
