This is the future.......

Hi guys,

 

I always knew that rapid prototyping has a big role to play in the future of next generation UAV,s . Here is a link to a company using Stratasys FDM technology to make gimbal mounted video cameras......I can't wait to see the first complete UAV printed directly off an RP machine....perhaps the technology needs to make a big leap, but I'm certain that this technology will be the enabling paradigm shift that makes lower cost civil UAVs possible.

 

Regards

    This is very neat... and I hope some day the technology becomes cheap enough where its affordable to hobbyists (just like what happened with DIY CNC machines). Thanks for sharing this article!

    I think I had a play with one of them there cameras at Helitech last year, very neat things but pretty heavy and very expensive.

    Makes the Makerbot look like shit. But how to buy Stratasys is the problem. Refinance a tree?
