Axle Box Innovations Uses Essentium Solutions to Contribute to U.S. Made Drone Platform
Axle Box Innovations, a premiere technology development firm helps small companies bring public safety technology into the marketplace. So when SkyFire, a world-class drone solutions company, asked Axle Box to support its effort to build a drone platform for one of its forestry and fire protection clients, the race to create the product was on.
Using the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printing Platform and engineering materials Axle Box was able to:
- Produce the drone mid-body with Essentium HTN-CF25 at the lowest price point.
- Produce Essentium PA-CF side covers designed to fail before the mid-body without sacrificing thermal stability.
- Achieve superior performance during flight tests, high-speed impacts, and overall functionality assessments.
