From the AMAA Virtual Event, discover how 3D printing is transforming drone design and production. From FPV drones to mission-ready UAVs, explore real-world additive manufacturing applications. In this session, industry experts from HP Additive Manufacturing and leading drone innovators explore how industrial 3D printing is reshaping the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry. Learn how HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology enables lightweight, durable, and highly functional drone components, helping companies accelerate development, reduce weight, simplify assembly, and scale production. The discussion panel features real-world drone applications across agriculture, healthcare, security, entertainment, last-mile delivery, and conservation. Discover how organizations are using additive manufacturing to create complex geometries, consolidate parts, improve aerodynamics, and produce end-use parts that would be difficult to manufacture using traditional methods. Featured drone case studies include: • Unusual Machines and the Skylite FPV drone, using TPU and MJF for durability and impact resistance. • UAV Works, showcasing a collapsible, highly portable drone with 96% of the platform produced through 3D printing. • Neco, using advanced design optimization and additive manufacturing for rapid deployment reconnaissance drones. • Vecros, developing AI-powered autonomous quadcopters with integrated designs and improved aerodynamics. • Blueflite, reducing aircraft weight by 25% through industrial 3D printing for last-mile delivery applications. • Firestorm, enabling mobile manufacturing of UAVs and spare parts directly in the field using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology. The session also features Robert Miller, founder of The Eye Above. Miller shares the inspiring story behind the Bush Ranger, a VTOL drone developed to support anti-poaching operations in Africa. Learn how a drone built with approximately 90% 3D printed parts is helping conservation teams observe wildlife, support rangers, and teach local communities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔗 LINKS: Learn more about HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions: https://bit.ly/4puonWM Contact with an HP 3D Print expert: https://bit.ly/4pwFUOg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #HP3DPrinting #Dronemanufacturing #Aerospace3dprinting #UmmannedSytems #aerospacemanufacturing ------------------------------------------- About HP Additive Manufacturing HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions, a division of HP Inc., provides industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions for manufacturers, product engineers, designers, and production service providers.
