A British researcher has combined two emerging technologies that could revolutionize the removal of hazardous waste. Mirko Kovac of the Imperial College of London is leading a team that uses a tag-team approach to waste management by deploying two drones – a quadcopter paired with a 3D printer and a hexacopter capable of lifting up to 5.5 pounds. Rowan Hooper of New … [Read more...] about Dynamic Drone Duo Can Dispose of Nuclear Waste

3D Printing and Drones Represents Bright Future
New applications for 3D printing continue to make headlines across mainstream media. In the world of UAVs, the incorporation of 3D printing technology may prove to be a match made in the drone-filled heavens with tech gurus predicting ever-decreasing costs and ever-expanding capabilities. The idea of disposable, 3D printed drones has already garnered mass enthusiasm in … [Read more...] about 3D Printing and Drones Represents Bright Future

The 3D Printed UAV (Video)
Exemplifying the perfect marriage of two emerging technologies, researchers at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (ADMRC) at the University of Sheffield in the UK have been developing a 3D printed drone that can be built and deployed in as little as 24 hours. Essentially, the ADMRC has built the drone equivalent of the disposable camera. Except instead of buying them … [Read more...] about The 3D Printed UAV (Video)
