Fabricating UAVs

UAVs, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, seem to be slowly taking over air forces around the world. It turns out that a key contributor to some of these vehicles is Laser Sintered parts. Many parts can be fabricated using this technology, and they are “stable in hot environments and are tough, pliable, and robust in harsh conditions such as exposure to fuel.” 
 
When someone suggests that 3D printing is not capable of making robust parts, just point up into the sky.

Kerry Stevenson, aka "General Fabb" has written over 8,000 stories on 3D printing at Fabbaloo since he launched the venture in 2007, with an intention to promote and grow the incredible technology of 3D printing across the world. So far, it seems to be working!

  1. Many UAVs parts have been made by CRP Technology using its unique carbon fiber filled material: WindForm XT.
    I can confirm: when someone suggests that 3D printing is not capable of making robust parts, just point up into the sky!
