3D Printed working Drone

Hello everyone!

I am Shivanant Deo Bhagat, a second-year B.Tech. in Mechanical and Automation branch from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of technology.

Today I’ll be sharing this article on 3D Printing.

3D Printing is used in a wide range of applications ranging from medical science to the aerospace industry. The automotive industry has also acknowledged the importance of 3D printing. Czinger 21c is a hypercar that can do 0-61 mph in 1.9 seconds riveling Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster.

The interesting thing about this car is the number of components that are 3D printed. The traditional casting process can take anywhere up to 12 months from design to production and the overall manufacturing cost was high. This was not feasible for Czinger so that’s why he used 3D printing to overcome this problem.

The flexibility, portability, and speed we get with 3D printing can’t be attained by any other manufacturing process. 

I took an Advanced 3D Printing Program this June; during this course, I was given a 3D Printer for 15 days at my home. I designed and 3D printed a lot of stuff during this course. I had a great time with the 3d printer and really enjoyed the learning experience.

I also made a detailed video I recommend you all to watch it.

At the end of the course, I had to make a project so I decided to build a Drone.

I designed the body and gave the g-code to the printer. It 3d printed all the components. While I was watching it,I remembered Jarvis (Ironman’s AI ), just like it helped Tony Stark, a 3D printer helped in doing the bodywork of the drone.

Here is a detailed video of my project.

With the help of a 3D printer, you can make anything, anytime and anywhere.

I am definitely going to buy a 3D printer in the future. I hope you all also design and 3D print stuff. 

Thank You!
