3d printed drone frame with continuous carbon fiber reinforcement 43% lighter, 48% cheaper, 16% more rigidity The stiffness of the frame has increased by 16.4% compared to the original, the cost ...

Usually, this means a quadcopter design on a carbon fiber, aluminum, or polymer frame, upon which electronics are welded on in the middle, a battery is strapped to the top, and — right before ...

Carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites represent a class of advanced materials that integrate the exceptional strength and stiffness of carbon fibres with the lightweight nature and ...

Peak Design's latest photo accessory is a carbon fiber tripod that's available in short, standard, and tall sizes. I had an opportunity to try all three and am impressed by the upgrades.

The war in Ukraine is now largely being fought with drones. Ukraine made 2 million last year. Drone makers churn them out in factories and mom-and-pop operations like one in a Kyiv basement apartment.

ORNL researchers simulated 5 million atoms to study a novel process for making carbon-fiber composites stronger and more cost efficient by incorporating a reinforced layer of polyacrylonitrile ...

[3] Effect of Al2O3 coating thickness on microstructural characterisation and mechanical properties of continuous carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites. Materials Science and ...

A stack of carbon fiber drone frames ready to be loaded up with engines, cameras and transmitters. Anton Shtuka for NPR. Ukraine and Russia are competing with each other in drone technology.
