The US drone manufacturer Unusual Machines plans to use HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology to produce its FPV drones. The company plans to move the production of components such as housings, connectors and smaller parts for its SkyLite series to the USA.
Unusual Machines, known for its FatShark and RotorRiot brands, aims to offer high-quality FPV freestyle quadcopter kits priced at around $600. The decision to use 3D printing follows the current trend of moving production back to the US.
Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines, highlights the benefits of 3D printing: “Implementing HP’s advanced 3D printing technology not only helps us control costs, but also enables us to produce higher quality products that meet the performance requirements of FPV drones.”
MJF technology allows the simultaneous production of multiple parts with high-quality surfaces and enables rapid design changes. The drone market is considered a promising application area for 3D printing. The technology enables weight reduction, component integration and a reduction in the number of parts. It also offers the possibility of iterating quickly and producing close to the place of use.
