A viewer called with an unusual - and awesome - request: Could we use our Haas UMC-750 to machine a camera mount for a micro rover that is HEADED TO THE MOON!

We were more than happy to help by making 6 of these camera mounts. Only one of the mounts will be installed in the rover (set to launch on May 4, 2023!) but they needed additional versions for testing!

5-axis works great for a part like this - not only for accessing the complex features at various angles, but also to make it more efficient to product 6 of these parts. We used the 'window machining' technique with hot-glue to hold the part in place to completely machine the part in a single setup!
