About this Project

A crucial part of any CubeSat is it's structure. Producing this structure requires a CNC router. CNC machines are very loud, messy and violent, so they need to be inside of an enclosure. My new Shapeoko CNC machine is on it's way from the USA, so it's time to build an enclosure. The enclosure will control lighting, CNC power, router power, vacuum cleaner power and have insulation for sound absorption. The company that I am starting, which focuses on developing CubeSats, is an incredibly large process and is costing tens of thousands of dollars. Hence, the Blackbird microgrant is just targeted at the CNC machines enclosure.
