Both jigs and fixtures are used in manufacturing. If you want to produce interchangeable parts, you will need to use a jig, fixture, or both depending on the operation. Human error is vastly limited, so components can be machined quickly with high levels of accuracy, which reduces costs. Jigs are a type of fixture that guides and supports a tool, whereas a fixture is used to secure a workpiece to be worked on.
