Foldable Articulated CubeSat for Additive Manufacturing
grabcad
This 1U cubesat frame design simplifies CubeSat fabrication via additive manufacturing, featuring flat print configuration and printed hinges for low part count. Able to use either SLS or SLA technologies, nylon or ABS-like materials are strong and lightweight choices suitable for spaceflight applications. The design costs $190 (SLS) or $400 (SLA), significantly lower than traditional frames' $1700 price tag, and weighs only 53g (Nylon) or 47g (ABS-like), allowing more mass for science instruments. With a part count of 6, this design reduces complexity while maintaining strength and durability for launch environments.
