3D printing for drone and UAV parts

For projects where every gram shows up in flight time: lightweight, rigid and impact-resistant parts.

Why 3D printing for drones and uavs?

In drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, weight directly determines flight time and payload capacity. 3D printing makes it possible to produce frames, arms and brackets with optimized lightweight geometry, design custom mounts for the payload and replace broken parts quickly.

  • Weight optimizationGet rid of unnecessary material with lattice and hollow structures.
  • Impact resistanceNylon and composite materials that flex instead of breaking.
  • Built for the payloadCustom mounts for cameras, sensors and batteries.
  • Fast sparesReprint broken parts immediately from the same file.

Drones and UAVs: frequently asked questions

What is the best material for a drone frame?

Carbon fiber reinforced PA12 or PA-CF for low weight and stiffness, and PA11 for parts that take impacts, are good choices.

Can you design custom parts for my existing drone?

Yes. Share the dimensions or model and we will design and produce custom mounts for cameras, sensors or batteries.

Do you produce drone parts in small series?

Yes. We can produce the approved design in small or medium series with the most suitable process for the quantity.
