  The Forward- scattering Fixed-Target chamber (FFT) hosts the coherent diffraction imaging experiments, which are the baseline experimental studies to be performed at the Spectrosopy and Coherent Scattering (SCS) instrument of the European XFEL. The sample environment allows for changing samples without breaking the vacuum. This is realized by a fast sample changer system connected to a load lock. With different and customized sample holders it is possible to achieve user specific requirements. This poster describes the process of converting a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file into a Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) file, which in turn is converted into Numerical Control (NC) code. The sample holder is manufactured on an adapted CNC machine, with a vacuum table and specially selected tools. In addition, all important mechanical and vacuum boundary conditions are explained. Due to the adapted processes it is possible to react immediately to changes during an experimental campaign.
