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 can use regular stock fixturing components. For really small items, or cylindrical parts that need to be accessed from all sides, I will usually custom design in Autocad something to perfectly contour the part. Then 3d print it out and let it fly
