3D Printing: Drone Industry

Discover how additive manufacturing can be a real game-changer for the Drone industry!

Develop Your Drone Projects Using Additive Manufacturing

Creating lighter, stronger, and more functional drones, requiring less assembly and fewer parts is not a dream anymore. You can now use additive manufacturing to make tailored fixtures and lattice structures to reduce the weight of your drone parts. This technology is also the ideal solution to manufacture iterations to adapt your products to your client’s needs. Get the opportunity to manufacture light and reliable drones, with a perfect finishing, integrated features.

Develop Your Drone Projects Using Additive Manufacturing

Sculpteo was the partner we needed for producing Tundra, being able to 3D print parts made it possible to create a customizable drone. Our partnership with Sculpteo was an essential part in the creation of this machine.

At the small scale of the cargo projects we run, 3D printing is the only economical production method for the geometries we need. Using Sculpteo’s service allows us to produce a much more professional quality product than we could achieve in-house, at a much lower time investment.

We are always looking for performance for our robots, and this fundamentally involves reducing the weight of the various fittings linked to the robots such as their grippers. 3D printing is a solution for us to combine performance, rigidity and mass of these assemblies. We have been working with Sculpteo for 4 years, the quality of the prints has always been very satisfactory and the proximity of our account manager allows us to save time and improve our performance in the realization of our projects.

3D printing is an opportunity to easily reproduce the structure of a robot. More and more robots are being produced thanks to 3D printing. Additive manufacturing is a long-term trend for the robotic market, just as it is for aeronautic and automobile businesses

Customer Story: We Robotics

Faster Time-to-Market with Additive Manufacturing

WeRobotics, established in December 2015 as a nonprofit organization, is a small and diverse team from six countries across four continents working with digital setups. WeRobotics’ core focus is co-creating and scaling the Flying Labs network, which shifts power back to local experts who lead local solutions for positive social impact. WeRobotics needed to quickly manufacture cargo drone add-on modules in small batches while still ensuring a robust and lightweight drone for their clients.
