ABCorp 3D helped design and manufacture a more precise curling tool currently utilized by Team USA Paralympics.
Drones
3D printed parts have been used in aerospace for decades due to their strong yet lightweight nature. More and more, 3D printing technology is being used to advance drone, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) manufacturing to meet both durability requirements and product specifications.
How 3D Printing Supports Drone Production:
- Build Lighter, Fly Smarter: Rapid iteration and testing optimize airframe geometries to reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
- Fewer Parts, Less Risk: 3D printing can consolidate assemblies to reduce fasteners and failure points, simplifying builds.
- Faster Turnaround, from Concept to Flight: Rapid prototyping and functional test parts accelerate development cycles in advance of full production.

FAQs
How is 3D printing changing manufacturing?
The primary advantage of 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing) is its ability to accelerate product development and production timelines. 3D printing provides advantages over traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding by allowing manufacturers to quickly create prototypes and eliminate the long lead times that often accompany legacy processes. Eliminating these obstacles allows organizations to produce and refine short-run prototypes quicker and bring them to market faster, increasing efficiency and accelerating time to revenue.
While 3D printing is often associated with rapid prototyping, it is also a proven method for broad scale production. Additive manufacturing can offer significant advantages over traditional production methods for many applications. For example, 3D printing can be used to quickly manufacture automotive parts that are designed to be lightweight and durable while reducing the time and materials spent on production.
Which industries use 3D print manufacturing?
Additive manufacturing is used across a wide range of industries including aerospace, defense, drones, medical devices, prosthetics, robotics, automotive, and consumer goods. Its ability to produce complex geometries, reduce lead times, and support both rapid prototyping and full-scale production makes it a valuable solution for organizations looking to accelerate. development while maintaining performance and quality. For organizations operating in highly sensitive industries, such as those manufacturing drones and robotics, working with a certified partner ensures that confidential designs and production information remain secure.
