San Diego-based startup Firestorm Labs has developed a new method of manufacturing small drones, using 3D printing technology and a global printing network to significantly reduce production time while meeting growing demand for walk.
This rapid production method relies on three key points: using 3D printing to efficiently manufacture the fuselage, simplifying the design to reduce complexity and speed up the overall process while using commercially available parts for integration fast ; grow through a global network of 3D printing entrepreneurs. Scale of production. This method is flexible and efficient, and can meet the needs of large volume orders.
Once the fuselage is printed, equipment such as electronic warfare devices, data links, sensors and even explosives can be quickly integrated depending on mission requirements. The modular design allows the drone to be quickly adjusted to accommodate various mission requirements. Compared to traditional manufacturing, which takes 6-8 weeks, this method can complete production within a few days.
The manufacturing cost of this type of drone is only 20% of that of traditional methods, and the lead time is also reduced by 90%. This innovative model combines rapid production, low cost and flexibility to provide cost-effective solutions for a variety of critical tasks and sets a new standard for drone manufacturing.
