Air-free Transfer Vessel for Sensitive Energy Storage Materials

The issue with the current sample is that it is extremely small, which makes it difficult to cut parts because few automated machines can cut at such a small scale easily. This makes it difficult to use automated machines like the Tormach CNC mill to make the process much easier and faster. A lot of the parts have to be manually made, increasing the manufacturing time and error chance and making it difficult to make multiple vessels. Finding a way to use the Tormach CNC mill on such a small device would make the process much easier and more accurate.
