UAS and UAV Solutions
Over time, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and UASs (Unmanned Aerial Systems) have expanded beyond military applications. Now available on a smaller scale for civilian use, drones of all types are helpful in a variety of settings from recreational to vocational. UAV and UAS solutions are useful in agriculture, emergency response, and mapping applications. When constructed using Direct Metal Laser Solidification (DMLS®) print technology, UAS and UAV solutions can feature lighter weights and increased durability to stay in the air for months if need be. To further reduce weights by over 70%, 3D-printed drones can be built with lattice and honeycomb designs. These designs cannot be traditionally machined or cast, but with the use of DMLS®, UAS and UAVs are now possible to prototype and manufacture using 3D print technology.
