UAVs will undoubtedly play an important role in the future. These autopilot machines have emerged in the areas of parcel distribution, aerial photography, law enforcement and extreme sports. These devices have entered mass production.
Philip Keane is a Ph.D. student working at the university's 3D printing center. He designed the drone with aerospace-grade materials that can be taken off directly after being printed in a 3D printer. It is.
Keen said that the biggest challenge he faced was how to make these electronic devices withstand the high temperatures generated during the printing process. They overcome this problem by adding some high temperature protection layers outside the device.
His design takes about 14 hours to print, and it will be suspended 3 times in order to place the corresponding electronics in the body. Finally, just by assembling the motor and the propeller, the drone can be lifted off.
The printing material used by Keane is called "ULTEMTM 9085", a high-strength, lightweight thermoplastic that was previously used in the manufacture of commercial aircraft. Keen said that with the help of this material, the drone is exceptionally strong and can transport goods weighing more than 60 kg.
At present, the entire production process has been solved, and Keane's next goal is to reduce the weight of the drone itself, while improving its durability and improving flight mechanics.
The latest 3D printing drone can take off directly after printing
Now, engineers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have found a new way to complete the manufacture of drones through 3D printing, and to assemble the electronic components they need.
