Researchers at NTU Singapore have 3D printed a ready-to-fly drone with embedded electronics. The electronics were incorporated in the drone during the 3D printing process which employs Stratasys ULTEMTM 9085 – a high strength, lightweight FDM material used in commercial aircrafts. The drone is jointly developed by NTU’s Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) and Stratasys Asia Pacific, a 3D printing and additive manufacturing company. The drone -quadcopter with 4 rotors – was designed, 3D printed and flown by Phillip Keane, PhD candidate.
Embedding electronics can be a challenge, as most will not survive the high temperatures of the 3D prin...
