This CubeSat mock-up is really about one thing: SWaP.

Size. Weight. Power.

Instead of treating the wiring harness as a separate system that has to be routed, secured, connected, and maintained, we’re embedding the power buses directly into the structural arms of the CubeSat.

That means fewer wires, fewer connectors, fewer separate components, and more of the electrical architecture becoming part of the structure itself.

The other piece we’re demonstrating here is resolution.

The Cu29 traces can be printed fine enough to align directly with microcontroller pins and other electronic components, allowing components to be soldered directly to the printed conductor.

So now the structure can start doing more than carrying load.

It can carry power.
It can carry signals.
It can become part of the electronics system itself.

That is where additive manufacturing starts changing spacecraft architecture, not just spacecraft geometry.

Pretty proud of this one.

One of our Kupros interns just walked away from J-DAMMIT 2026 with the cUAS Challenge Air Superiority Award for taking more drones out of the sky than anyone else in the competition.

This is exactly why I love getting students and young engineers involved in real technical problems. Give them access to the right tools, let them build, test, fail, iterate, and then get out of their way.

He came to J-DAMMIT representing Kupros and left with some hardware.

Not a bad week in Harrisburg. 🙂

Congrats. You earned it.

This drone arm was designed to carry its own wiring harness.

The blue version shows the internal pathways where our Cu29 conductor is printed directly into the structure. The clear version shows what that architecture looks like once those conductive paths are embedded into the arm.

This use case is what pushed us into some of our most aggressive electrical testing.

The drone application required the embedded conductors to handle roughly 100–150 amps for 1–1.5 seconds.

So we built a supercapacitor bank and started destructive pulse testing.

And during every test we ran, Cu29 pegged our 300-amp meter.

We were not trying to prove a 300-amp continuous rating. We were trying to understand how much short-duration current the printed conductor could take before failure, and we kept exceeding the range of the meter.

That changed how we thought about the material.

Cu29 was not just interesting for low-power circuits, sensors, and antennas. It opened the door to embedded power distribution inside the structure itself.

Less wiring.
Fewer connectors.
Fewer separate parts.
More freedom to design the electrical system around the vehicle.

For drones, robotics, and defense systems, that starts to change the architecture.

Day 2 at JDAMMIT.

Great catching up with old friends, making new ones, and having Murphy’s Law hit just about every printer while we’re trying to demo.

That’s live demos for you.

Still a great day with a lot of good conversations and plenty of interest in what we’re building at Kupros.

This is where Cu29 stopped being just a conductive filament and started becoming part of the system.

This was an early 3D-printed induction coil proof of concept we developed with one of our defense prime customers, exploring how the coil could be embedded directly into a payload instead of manufactured separately and installed afterward.

On the left, the Cu29 coil is exposed so you can see the conductive geometry.

On the right, that same concept disappears into the printed structure.

That is the direction we have been pushing from the beginning.

Print the structure.
Print the electronics.
Embed the functionality where it is actually needed.

Fewer separate parts. Less wiring. More freedom to design around the mission instead of around the electronics.

And this was one of the early experiments.

We have come a long way since then.

Tomorrow, the hardware hits the table at J-DAMMIT.

Kupros will be at J-DAMMIT 2026, August 25–27, with STORMWERX at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

We’re bringing Cu29 V2, printed electronics demonstrations, and some of the work we’ve been sharing over the last few weeks.

No slides required to understand this one.

You can see the traces.
You can see the embedded electronics.
You can handle the parts.
And you can talk directly with us about where this could fit into your own defense or advanced manufacturing work.

That is what I like about J-DAMMIT. Engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and Warfighter-focused organizations in the same place, looking at real technology and figuring out what comes next.

If you’re attending, come find Kupros. Let’s build something.

That silver line is the antenna. And it came off an FDM 3D printer.

We’re continuing to push Cu29 V2 into applications that normally require completely different manufacturing processes.

This is our latest 3D-printed tunable dipole antenna concept for drone applications, with the conductive antenna geometry printed directly into the polymer structure using Cu29.

Change the geometry.
Change the conductive length.
Change the design for the mission.

That is where additive manufactured electronics starts becoming really powerful.

Instead of designing the drone around a separately manufactured antenna, the antenna can become part of the printed structure itself.

And because Cu29 is an all-metal, conductive filament, we can explore this on the same FDM platforms already being used to manufacture the airframe.

We’re pushing the RF testing next.

Antenna engineers, drone builders, and RF people, I’d genuinely like to hear what you would test first.

The best part of advanced manufacturing events is putting real hardware in front of engineers and asking, “What would you do with this?”

Next week we’re doing exactly that at J-DAMMIT 2026, August 25–27, at Harrisburg University with STORMWERX.

Kupros will be there with Cu29 V2 and demonstrations of our work in embedded 3D printed electronics.

We’ve spent a lot of time showing what we can build.

At J-DAMMIT, I’m more interested in hearing what you would build.

Antenna?
Sensor?
Embedded power bus?
Conformal circuit?
Replacement electronic component?
Something we haven’t thought of yet?

Come by the Kupros table and challenge us.

Austin this week. Harrisburg next week. We’re keeping Cu29 moving.

August 25–27, Kupros will be at J-DAMMIT 2026 at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology with the team at STORMWERX.

We’ll have Cu29 V2 on the table, along with demonstrations of where we’re taking 3D printed electronics.

Embedded circuits. Power distribution. Sensors. Antennas. CubeSat architectures. Electronics manufactured directly into the structure instead of assembled around it.

J-DAMMIT brings together exactly the community we want working with this technology: defense, academia, advanced manufacturing, and the engineers actually building for the Warfighter.

If you’re going to be in Harrisburg, come find us. I want to hear what you would try to print with Cu29.

Tomorrow, we bring Cu29 V2 to Fed Supernova at the Capital Factory.

Tuesday, August 18, Kupros will be showcasing at the Dual-Use Startup Crawl in Austin.

And we’re bringing more than a spool of filament.

We’re bringing a different way to think about manufacturing electronics.

Circuits embedded into structures.
Power buses printed into components.
Antennas and sensors built where they are needed.
Targeted shielding.
Functional electronics produced on standard FDM platforms.

Cu29 V2 is on the market. Now we want to put it in the hands of the people building what comes next.

If you’re at Supernova, come find us.
