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)
