2U Laser Melted Aluminum CubeSat Structure

2U Laser Melted Aluminum CubeSat Structure

For missions requiring maximum structural rigidity and thermal conductivity, the Laser Melted (DMLS) Aluminium frames from KSF Space represent the pinnacle of additive manufacturing.

Why Choose Laser Melting (Metal) for Your Mission?

Traditional CNC machining often limits design complexity. By utilizing Laser Melting, KSF Space allows engineers to incorporate organic geometries, internal cable routing, and lattice structures that significantly reduce mass while maintaining extreme stiffness.

• Material:Aerospace-grade Aluminium (AlSi10Mg).
• Finish:Professional Shot Peened
• Best For:High-vibration launches, deep-space exploration, and thermal-heavy payloads.

The shot peened finish is not just for aesthetics. This mechanical process bombards the surface with spherical media to create a layer of compressive residual stress.1 This effectively prevents micro-cracks and fatigue failure during the violent acoustic environment of a rocket launch.
