Fractal Vice
A fully 3D-printed fractal vise that adapts to the shape of objects, inspired by a century-old clamping innovation.
Project Overview
This fully 3D-printed fractal vise is designed to clamp objects while naturally adjusting to their shape, providing a secure and adaptive grip. Inspired by a century-old design, it combines modern 3D printing techniques with classic engineering ingenuity.
Approach & Solution
The vise leverages a fractal jaw pattern to distribute contact, allowing it to grip irregular objects with precision. Careful prototyping ensured that the 3D-printed parts maintained strength while achieving the complex fractal motion.
Outcome & Results
The final model successfully demonstrates the practical application of fractal geometry in clamping devices. It functions as a versatile and efficient vise, bringing a timeless design into the modern era.
