Laser Short Kits, Design and Rapid Prototyping

Hi All;

New to the site here, but am an avid RC hobbiest and also run a CNC laser business on the side. I'm working with a local prototyper here, and would really like to get more involved with other projects in the UAV/UAS community. Primarily in the role of parts prototyping and the likes.

I'd like to offer up my services if there's anyone out there needing any laser work done. I have no overhead (work at Boeing by day), but have a really nice CO2 CNC Laser that I'd like to kerp busier. I'm not out to make any profit, but am eagar to help anyone who might need laser cutting, engraving or the likes. Parts cutting and design are my specialty, so I'm just throwing this out there.

Drop me a line if you're looking to have anything cut. No job's too small so don't hesitate. Really exciting stuff and I'm eager to help whereever.

Thanks - mike

Care to design a Global Hawk model? It's the one UAV that we haven't DIY'd ;-)

Sure... if someone is game.

Doing the design is the easy part. Just need someone wanting one and willing to step up for the costs. :)

Got a round-figure estimate? I suspect a number of us have more money than time ;-)

No way really to talk round figures. Laser time gets expensive, as do materials. I make a decent living as a design engineer by day, so I have to keep things realistic on my personal time as well.

If someone likes designing, I don't mind helping out, but scratch drawing a UAV are probably not my #1 way to spend my evenings either. ;)

Funny, I just posted about this - a question on how to scratch design/build a Global Hawk. I think the Global Hawk would be a fantastic project. Maybe we could divide the work. I just need to understand the process better.

Here's a thread on RCGroups with drawings...



Put a 70mm EDF unit on there, and some serious avionics, cameras, etc.

NICE

I guess nobody wanted one after all? Did anybody step up? I would really want a Global Hawk.

I cant believe nobody is building one... The older Predator design is really a bad UAV design for rc due to tip stall behaviors at low speed and landings. A Global Hawk / Predator "C" with its now WIDER fuselage and increased wing loading sure would be an awesome foamy / platform.

Wow I just found this.
Are you still offering this amazing service?

I haven't seen any postings from Mike for quite a while. (a couple years?)

Perhaps you should visit his web site...

Not sure if anyone is still following this and interested, but I've got a CO2 laser similar to Mike's. I have a 4'x3' stage though, so I can cut VERY large parts. Feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss it.

Hi all right I'm going to give it a go and I am fluent in 3d design, I have solidworks and CAD to use, have some basic drawings from the internet but does anyone have anything better I can work from, finished product will be available to all, I have five weeks spare and need of a project gna have a go with UAV so this is a good start, airframe looks fine just need some dimensions, maybe a 2d or even details plans I generate in 3d. any help would be great and am willing to keep everyone interested in the loop.
