The\u00a0Tundra\u00ae 3D printed Drone for industrial use won the German Red Dot Award.<\/p>\n

The Red Dot Award has been around since 1955. It brings an opportunity for any individual or business to submit their products to one of the world’s largest design competitions. It is a diverse competition not just in terms of having submissions from over 50 countries yearly, but also being open to all kinds of products. Judged by 39 jury members discussing the design quality of any type of product across 48 different participation categories – Including drones as being one of the groups.<\/p>\n

This year over 6.300 innovative items where up for evaluation in the Red Dot Award: Product Design. This time around only a little over 26% (1.684) of these entries actually received the award and the honour and exposure it brings with it. One of them where the\u00a0Tundra\u00ae drone by Hexadrone.<\/p>

We have previously talked about 3D printing in aeronautics<\/a>\u00a0that also included other 3D Printed Drones such as the USA’s Army Perdix Drones. However, this project brings something new to the table.<\/p>\n

the\u00a0Tundra\u00ae Drone<\/h3>\n

The Tundra\u00ae Industrial Drone was developed by Hexadrone (specialised in training, tailor-made design and online sale of drones) and the industrial designer of the\u00a0D\u00d6T agency\u00a0Rapha\u00ebl Ch\u00e8ze. This 3D printed drone is the first of its kind, in terms of being a fully modular and easy to use drone, fully 3D printed for industrial use and multi-purpose tasks.<\/p>\n

\"3D<\/p>\n

For the Red Dot Award the Drone was evaluated through the process of static test and assess. And the 3D printed\u00a0Tundra\u00ae prototype produced by CRP Technology via Laser Sintering tech using Windform SP and Windform XT 2.0 Carbon-composite materials held up to the challenge and won the Red Dot Award.<\/p>\n

This highlights the hard work put into the project and rewards the development and innovation of the work done over the past couple of year – also just in terms of getting the project up and running on the big scale. The company have already previously started through fundraising to get the financial resources to industrialise the 3D printed drone on a large scale with the future plan of the creation of a plant and thirty jobs by 2020.<\/p>\n

The exposure and recognition brought on by winning the Red Dot Award will if nothing else back up the future plans of the company.<\/p>\n
