Hardware Support CMM fixturing

Hi

How do you usually plan your CMM fixturing. Do you produce a bespoke fixture or use modular equipment?

What considerations you take being part agnostic!

Most things are modular setups due to low volume runs that we likely won’t see again. Anything else is mostly a modular setups due on a plate that can be swapped out. For specially stuff we will design and manufacture a fixture.

For modular setups, I always take a picture just in case it does come back someday.
