The base fixture design consists of a dual-layer rectangular plate—a support layer and a modular interface layer. It includes:
Symmetrical locating holes ensuring precise alignment on CNC beds
Circular clamping grooves to accommodate fixture elements
Parametric vertical support bracket designed to withstand lateral and torsional forces
Smooth fillets and stress-relief features enhancing durability
This CAD model forms the baseline against which all optimized and generative designs are compared. It represents a traditional-style fixture, intentionally kept robust to highlight the performance gain achieved through optimization.
