The FlexQube® standard module. Seven says it all. 7CM DESIGN BASE The FlexQube system is based on the number 7. All FlexTubes and FlexBeams come in length intervals of 7cm and the distance between interfaces is 7cm. Two FlexBeams create a 7×7cm square cross-section and two FlexQubes form a 7×7×7cm cube.

The FlexBeam also has an M10-hole for heavy-duty connections and thus M10-bolts and nuts can also be used. This means that all connections can be done with a small number of tools.
