Abstract—To manufacture a mechanical product with exceptional accuracy that meets the necessary technical specifications, it is imperative to conduct a series of meticulous processes such as machining, surface treatment, deburring, and secure workpiece fixing. Accordingly, to precisely machine the part, it is necessary to securely fasten the workpiece during the mechanical processing procedure, ensuring the accurate alignment of the cutting tools. Nevertheless, as the industry progresses, the details become progressively intricate in form and varied in magnitude. This study presents a procedure for designing and producing a fractal vise capable of changing the orientation of its jaws to safely hold variously shaped parts, responding to different manufacturing requirements.
