• the first support column and the second support column are coupled to one another forming a longitudinal loading envelope comprising a width-wise dimension, a height-wise dimension, and a length-wise dimension defined by a plurality of inside faces of the first and second support columns;
• at least one of the first support column or the second support column comprise a longitudinal channel extending along one of the plurality of inside faces of the first and second support columns in the length-wise dimension of the longitudinal loading envelope;
• the part support bracket comprises a key portion that extends in the length-wise dimension of the longitudinal loading envelope, wherein the key portion is positioned in the longitudinal channel;
• at least one of the first or second support columns comprise a plurality of part fixturing recesses passing through the respective support column in the width-wise dimension and arranged within the height-wise dimension and the length-wise dimension of the longitudinal loading envelope;
• and
• the part fixturing anchors extend through the support column at the part fixturing recesses into the longitudinal loading envelope and couple the workpiece to the first and second support columns.
