Our team at Encadra has joined the development of PowerBlock-323.

We are contributing our experience in product design and enclosure engineering to help move the project forward.

As part of this work, we are now evaluating two enclosure directions: one made from bent sheet metal and another from solid aluminum. Both versions share the same functional layout, but they differ in manufacturing methods and trade-offs.

We will continue to share design updates as the project evolves. Next topics may include thermal aspects, assembly approach, and finishing options. Feedback from the community is very welcome.
