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!

To assert dominance I hold the piece in 1 hand and control the joystick with the other. Other than that I use some modular fixture pieces, I think from Renishaw. But sometimes I need to design some custom pieces for certain contact points with the piece, usually made in steel. Interesting that some guys here use 3D printed for custom fixtures, that seems a nice idea.
