Introduction
Soft jaws are a type of workholding device used in CNC machining processes where a delicate grip (or complex shape) is required. They are typically made of a softer material than ‘hard jaws’, such as aluminum or mild steel.
The CloudNC ‘Soft Jaws Designer’ add-on (available from the CAM Assist panel) can be used to create/refine an inverted (negative shape) version of your part within the jaws of a vice. You can then use the machined Soft Jaws you’ve designed to securely clamp the part down. This makes soft jaws a more suitable solution for holding parts that would be difficult to secure with standard, flat hard jaws.

The Soft Jaw Designer is part of the CloudNC CAM Assist for Fusion add-on suite.
The CloudNC Soft Jaw Designer add-on intelligently designs customized fixtures for your part efficiently.
