There is a 3d printer at the space that can be used to make enclosures,

There is also a laser cutter that you can buy time on to cut out something

hi nathan,

thanks for the links.

i was more looking into something like industrial type enclosures. the
enclosure which needs to be produced is bigger than what the hackspace’s
laser cutter can handle (~40 cm width). also, an enclosure made out of
aluminium would be awesome.

cheers though,

CNC folding machine 250k. CNC metal laser cutters 600k. Ask around, you may
be lucky…but I doubt it. Good luck!
