Hello, everyone. So I have some problems with a model for my project. I don't know how to design a fixture that suit for my models. Do you guys know a fixture that suit my models or a fixture can be used for my models? Please let me know. Thank you

Looks like some type of knuckle joint? The fixture will reference the functional datum of your part.... 3-2-1. Since you designed it and know it's function, you should be able to design around that criteria.
What do you have thus far? What are you fixturing the part for??
Some information maybe needed to build a fixture that suit the model. Like cmalco said, it may depend on the functional of the model.
1. Which face of the model that may not be touched by supporting or guiding parts of the fixture.
2. Is the model somekind for customer or for assembled to another model?
3. Is the fixture controlled by hand or pneumatic only or electric-pneumatic?
4. And anything else depending on what process should take to the model? Like caulking, bending, powdering, coating, grinding, etc.
Hope you get the lights. Thanks for advance.
