Drone parts produced with help of additive manufacturing processes

Parrot has developed the final Bebop 2 drone with the help of Windform GT material.

The first Bebop 2 structure was built on injected parts made with polyamide-based glass-reinforced composite material. Parrot moved to SLS (selective laser sintering) technology in collaboration with CRP Technology in order to optimise the structural performance.

Parrot has established that the natural frequencies of the parts made with Windform GT were quite similar to those of parts obtained by injection-moulding technique applied to glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide.

Parrot validated that natural frequencies of parts manufactured with Windform GT material were similar to injected parts with polyamide-based glass-reinforced composite material.
