The expanding product line of the California-based aviation company continues to showcase their impressive vision and versatility, fueled by 3D printing. After mastering design and production of autonomous aircraft for agricultural applications like crop-spraying, Pyka transitioned into developing new solutions for middle-mile cargo transport.

Market Demand Required Modifications to Original Pyka Aircraft Designs

Pyka had great success in producing their first electric airplane, the Pelican Spray, and working in other aerial applications. They quickly piqued the interest of cargo-transport companies.

“Market leaders thought our technology would be perfectly suited for what they needed in moving cargo,” said Jason Petersen, Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Pyka. “Supply chain influenced that a bit, but overall, the aviation industry was primed to advance and our electronic aviation technology was the most sophisticated.”

Meeting the needs of new clients meant making changes to existing technology. Pyka spent a year modifying and creating new aircraft that could fly longer distances, hold more cargo, and would also be easy to maintain.

3D Printing Accelerated Product Development & Manufacturing

3D printing played a large role in streamlining those modifications, and has continued to accelerate Pyka’s production development and manufacturing processes. “People are often surprised at how often we use 3D printing in our aircraft,” said Petersen. 

While there are dozens of 3D printed parts on each aircraft, some examples include waterproofed fairings, cases for wires and smaller electronics, latch mounts, and user-interface panels. Pyka reports ease in designing around any problems, without ever having to worry about ‘manufacturability’ of parts in 3D printing.

“Design freedom plays a large role in allowing us to prototype and make changes, strategically placing certain materials where we know added strength is necessary in the aircraft’s geometry,” said Petersen. “With 3D printing, we can create much lighter parts for complex structures, in comparison to injection molding or machining.”

Affordability in prototyping and production is a major advantage as the Pyka team is constantly testing parts and looking for ways to enhance their products, usually revising at least one 3D printed prototype per week. Their design team uploads 3D models to Shapeways quickly, receives instant quotes and printability analysis, and then also has the advantage of referring back to those same digital files for on-demand additive manufacturing.

Advanced 3D Printing Thermoplastics Meet Pyka’s Growing Needs

The autonomous aircraft designers leverage technology like Selective Laser Sintering and Multi Jet Fusion because of the ease in redesigning parts, and maintaining them later. Materials like Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic] make it possible to create durable yet flexible parts, while MJF Plastic PA12 provides necessary properties like moisture- and chemical-resistance.

“We’ve experimented with metal 3D printing and other materials like Polypropylene, but I find we always end up going back to the other materials because of their excellent strength properties. We’re used to working with them, the outcome is predictable, and the price point is just hard to beat!” said Petersen.

Access to advanced, durable materials is critical because Pyka uses so many of the 3D printed parts to hold important aircraft components in place–when installing a part requiring complete accuracy on top of a wing, for example–or on a curved area of the aircraft.

Currently, the average Pyka aircraft includes 60-80 3D printed parts. The company’s rapid expansion in agriculture and cargo transport is fueled by their ability to simplify design and production with additive manufacturing, resulting in 11 aircraft built and 45 more planned for deployment in the future.

New options like Fine Detail Plastic in Clear Ultra and Gray serve as excellent choices whether you are designing for the Shapeways Marketplace, shopping the thousands of products available there, or uploading a personalized design for us to 3D print.

3D Printing with Clear Ultra Fine Detail Plastic

Clear Ultra Fine Detail Plastic is a great solution if you need a material less prone to yellowing over time, as well as one offering more flexibility to help prevent breakage in more fragile 3D printing projects like jewelry or decorative pieces. This material is also recommended for applications requiring thinner structures with flexibility, as well as thicker parts where rigid functionality is necessary.

Other applications include:

• Translucent prototypes for plastic injection molding
• Functional snap-fit assemblies requiring drilling, tapping, and machining
• Injection molding plastic screw bosses and threads
• Translucent flow visualization and dye-tinted applications
• Optically clear sight windows for digital fixtures
• Microfluidics, capillary fluidics, and lab-on-a-chip products

Fine Detail Plastic parts can also be painted easily due to the exceptionally smooth, consistent surfaces–perfect for smaller 3D printed products requiring high accuracy, fine features, and sharp edges.

3D Printing with Gray Fine Detail Plastic

Offering similar material properties to Clear Ultra Fine Detail Plastic, this opaque Gray serves as the perfect base for painting and enhancing intricate 3D model details.

The strong visual contrast of Gray Fine Detail Plastic also makes it ideal for functional applications with high detail, as well as parts that require drilling, tapping, and machining. While this rigid material serves the same applications as its Clear counterpart, we also recommend Gray Fine Detail Plastic for the following:

• Parts with surface details requiring contrast for easy visualization of surface detail
• Opaque prototypes and some end-use components
• Painted business and marketing collateral, models, and mockups

Finishes

New finishes for Fine Detail Plastic materials include:

• Gray Fine Detail Plastic: 3D Systems Visijet M2R-GRY material at HD resolution settings (800 x 900 DPI) to provide fine details at 32 micron layer height.
• Clear Ultra Fine Detail Plastic: 3D Systems Visijet M2R-CL material at UHD resolution settings (1600 x 900 DPI) to provide finest details at 32 micron layer height.

Technology

We 3D print all Fine Detail Plastic materials with Material Jetting (MJ), one of our fastest 3D printing technologies, providing high detail and dimensional accuracy, excellent surface finishes, and aesthetics. MF technology relies on several nozzles to deposit material droplets onto the print bed. Each layer is cured by UV heat until the part is complete, with supports removed in post-processing.

Because detail tends to be a high priority with Fine Detail Plastic products, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the design guidelines here.

The rapid prototyping process was a large part of what drew Tilt’s CEO Noah Neibaron to working with Shapeways, bypassing conventional technology in lieu of faster, more affordable processes, along with the ability to evaluate important parts comprehensively. The rapid prototyping process allowed them to adjust and edit parts, redesigning one or more features to perfect both form and functionality–and then going back to the drawing board to test and manufacture all over again.

The Tilt team was also able to experiment with many different types of gravity by calibrating the float to ensure accurate readings and measurements to users through their Bluetooth connection. Neibaron chose Nylon 12 [Versatile Plastic] for 3D printing the parts, taking advantage of the variety of different colors and finishes available to delineate different part readings. Selective Laser Sintering allowed for expanded freedom in design, along with the ability to produce strong, accurate parts quickly.

“The Shapeways part really helps dial in where that center of gravity is going to be,” said Noah. “It’s very sensitive, and that’s one of the big reasons we have used 3D printing. With Shapeways we were able to try various centers of gravity with different prints, quickly.”

“Shapeways has been a great service and has obviously inspired us to make the product the way it is today,” said Noah.

Easing Communication Between Designers and Clients

When it comes to communicating complex design ideas, the clients need to be able to fully visualize what they are signing on for. If a design is overly theoretical or technical that the client cannot fully understand it this could lead to problems later on. 3D printing produces cleaner and more contemporary looking tangible models with as much detail as possible and allows clients to make informed decisions and give better feedback. It allows the client to more directly visualize information like materials, colors and design elements.

Efficiently Testing, Editing and Refining Designs

Many times a model needs to be reiterated a number of times to allow for alterations. Where the typical process for producing a model takes time and can be quite expensive, 3D printing the model makes it much easier to change the 3D design and then rapidly create a new prototype within a couple of hours. This makes testing and refining designs a much quicker process. Saving the designs also cuts time out for future projects, if any of the information for previous designs becomes useful again.

Improving Quality in Details and Materials

3D printing also allows for an extremely high level of intricacy and details that are much more difficult to produce by hand. Designers can use 3D printing to demonstrate connections between structural elements (interlocking, overlapping, for example) in multiple configurations to develop site plans in the most accurate way possible. It is also easier to create more complex structural details like domes and arches. 3D printers can use different materials for different aspects of the models to further illustrate their concept. Some popular choices include Nylon Plastic, transparent resin or metal. 3D printed models are much more durable than paper or cardboard.

Extending 3D Printing to Prototypes and Specific Design Elements

The usability of 3D printing extends past full concept model making as well. Using a 3D printer, it is possible to print concept models of specific parts of the buildings being designed, like facades for different walls and other textures to further illustrate design ideas. Parts can be 3D printed in full, but casts can also be printed to create the prototype of a ceramic tile, for example, much easier and quicker. Prototypes of the structure can then come to life long before the build is complete.

When it comes to designing anything, especially such large scale entities like buildings or landscapes, 3D printing helps to streamline the process by visually communicating these ideas. Many architecture firms have begun acquiring their own desktop 3D printers to be able to produce models and prototypes quickly and at low cost. As 3D printing is still a relatively new technology there can be a learning curve in the transition to using it which makes outsourcing to specialized 3D printing companies like Shapeways a constructive alternative.

Print with Shapeways

Shapeways offers consultations with 3D engineers to ensure efficiency and printability of the design in question at the highest quality, making the printing process as smooth as possible. Even as the use of desktop printers becomes easier it can be beneficial to outsource to printers like Shapeways who can deliver a specialized level of precision, print with a wider range of materials and guarantee efficiency in order to create top quality, high detail models for client showcases or trade shows. Creating models with as much detail and accuracy as possible is of the utmost importance not only for showing manufacturers but also for engaging clients.

Basic Definitions

In the world of engineering and material science, “strength” has a specific meaning. So do other words like “toughness” and “stiffness”. Let’s make sure we’re all on the same page here and quickly go over some commonly used terms.

Yield strength is a material property that quantifies how much stress (internal pressure) a material can withstand before permanently deforming. Let’s consider a paperclip. If you bend it very gently, it will spring back to its original shape. If you bend it with considerable force, it will not spring back entirely, and it will stay bent. Usually, we don’t want parts to permanently deform like this, so for strong parts, it’s important to choose materials with high yield strength.

Toughness tells us how much energy a material can absorb without breaking. A material with high toughness is usually desirable in impact-absorption applications, but it comes with certain tradeoffs such as increased ductility.

Ductility is a measure of how far an object can deform without breaking. For example, paperclips must be made from a ductile material so they can be bent into shape without snapping.

Brittleness is the opposite of ductility. If an object is brittle, it will fracture after deforming only a small distance. Glass, for example, is brittle even though it has a relatively high yield strength. Brittleness is usually undesirable.

Stiffness measures how rigid a material is. Materials with high stiffness are very good at keeping their shape even under load, and stiff materials are usually used in load-bearing applications. A stiff or rigid material will deflect less than a flexible material under the same load.

Hardness measures a material’s resistance to scratching and surface indentation. Hard materials will scratch softer materials, but not vice-versa.

Material Choice

The material you choose significantly influences the strength of your part. You will normally choose a material depending on which material properties are most important to you. Shapeways offers a wide variety of materials, and each material has a unique set of properties that should be taken into consideration when you want a strong 3D print.

Thermoplastics

Thermoplastics are quite common in 3D printing. These plastics soften with heat and can be remelted once they have been printed. Some common thermoplastics are Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Nylon or Polyamide (PA), and Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Of these common thermoplastics, Nylon has the best balance of strength, toughness, and stiffness. Shapeways has several options of industrial-grade Nylon, two of these are: PA12, and PA12 GB.

PA12, also known as Nylon 12 is a tough, high-strength thermoplastic. It is printed with multi-jet-fusion (MJF) technology and can be smoothed to make parts watertight. As an added benefit, PA12 offers good chemical resistance.

PA12 GB is very similar to PA12 but this material is infused with lots of tiny glass beads. Since this material is 40% glass-filled, it has improved stiffness and resistance to warping.

Both of these thermoplastics have near-homogeneous properties. Due to the MJF printing process, these parts have comparable strength in the X, Y, and Z directions.

Thermoset Plastics

Thermoset plastics cannot be remelted once they have been cured. The 3D printing method used to print thermoset plastics is called Stereolithography (SLA). In this process, a laser scans over a liquid bath of light-activated photopolymer resin, hardening the areas to be printed and leaving the rest as a liquid.

Parts printed with SLA have an extremely smooth and high-quality surface finish. They usually have a high yield strength, and are quite stiff. They tend to be more brittle than thermoplastics, so they are not ideal for high-impact applications. There are, however, certain resins which have been formulated to provide a mix of strength and stiffness as well as toughness.

Accura Xtreme 200 is our strongest SLA resin. It has a higher yield strength and similar stiffness to PA12 GB. For a rigid SLA material, it is exceptionally tough, and well-designed parts should be able to handle moderate impact loads.

Metals

Yes, metals can be 3D printed! While typically more costly than plastics, parts 3D printed in metal are by far the strongest. We offer a wide variety of metals for 3D printing, including steel, aluminum, and a variety of precious metals.

For industrial load-bearing applications, aluminum is a top choice because parts are printed using a process known as Selective Laser Melting (SLM). This process uses a computer-controlled laser to fully melt aluminum powder. Aluminum is also corrosion-resistant and has exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity.

Steel is also available but it’s not recommended for heavy-duty industrial applications because it is printed very differently than aluminum. It is printed using an adhesive binder, which is later replaced with bronze. This process results in a part that is 60% steel, and 40% bronze. It’s still a very strong material, but for the best mechanical performance, aluminum is a better choice.

3D printed aluminum is one of the strongest 3D printing materials. It has an impressively high strength-to-weight ratio, and is perfect for creating parts that are strong, tough, and also lightweight such as drone frames. It has a yield strength 4-5 times higher than our Accura Xtreme 200 SLA resin and based on elastic modulus, it is over 20 times stiffer!

Material Data Sheets

Every material offered at Shapeways comes with a detailed material datasheet. These datasheets provide useful information including a comprehensive list of mechanical and thermal properties. These datasheets can be found at the bottom of every Shapeways material information page. For example, here’s the datasheet for PA12 GB.

Thermal and Environmental Factors

Sometimes you’ll want your parts to be able to withstand exposure to heat, light, and moisture. Some 3D printing materials are specifically formulated to be resistant to these conditions, and others should be avoided. Thermal and environmental factors must be taken into account to ensure parts will remain strong in harsh conditions.

Temperature Resistance

When parts will be used close to a heat source, or in a hot environment, it’s important that they do not deform or melt due to heat. 3D printed metals have the best temperature resistance by far.

SLA prints do not remelt, but they tend to become soft at relatively low temperatures. Accura Xtreme 200 has a heat deflection temperature of only 42°C (at 1.82 MPa) while PA12 GB has a heat deflection temperature of 114°C (at 1.82 MPa). Metals behave differently from plastics, so they do not have this characteristic. For comparison, 3D printed aluminum parts have a melting temperature of 570°C.

Keep in mind that parts that are darker in color will absorb more radiation energy, so for parts exposed to sunlight, white or translucent plastics are the best color choices.

Moisture Resistance

Some materials are slightly porous after being 3D printed so they will absorb moisture, and this can change their mechanical properties. Thermoplastics such as Nylon will absorb some amount of water, leading to minor swelling. Moisture exposure can cause a small reduction in strength and stiffness to some thermoplastics. Waterproof coatings, such as polyurethane spray, can be applied to some plastics to prevent moisture absorption.

SLA and metal 3D prints are not affected by moisture exposure.

Smart Design

3D printing is extremely versatile, but there are still a few general design guidelines that must be followed to ensure parts are printed properly. Every material available on Shapeways includes detailed material information as well as a set of design guidelines.

In order to maximize part strength, here are some general rules of thumb.

Increase Wall Thickness

Wall thickness greatly affects part strength. No matter what 3D printing method you use, having thicker walls will greatly increase the strength of your part. Although most 3D printing methods can print walls 1 mm thick, if strength is important to you, walls should be at the very least 2-3 mm.

Optimize Layer Orientation

Depending on how they are printed, some 3D printed parts are weaker along the layer lines. Parts are more prone to breaking along these planes, so if strength is required in all directions, it will be beneficial to reinforce areas that will be printed vertically.

Some methods of 3D printing such as SLA and multi-jet-fusion have been proven to have close-to-uniform strength in every direction.

Prevent Warping

As parts are being 3D printed, they will expand and contract due to temperature differences. This can cause warping, and this may weaken the structure of your part. Long, thin parts will experience this effect the most, so be sure to reinforce critical areas by increasing wall thickness or adding supporting features such as ribs.

Avoid Sharp Internal Corners

Be sure to use generous fillets if your part has any load-bearing sharp internal corners. Sharp internal corners can lead to highly localized internal stress concentrations, causing failure at loads lower than expected.

Conclusions

3D printed parts can be surprisingly strong! Your parts can be made for industrial-strength applications by understanding the basics of material science, selecting a suitable material, and following smart design guidelines. 3D printed parts can be strong enough to support heavy loads, absorb big impacts, and resist deformation in a variety of harsh conditions. Due to advances in 3D printing technology, and specifically engineered material formulations, we’re seeing more 3D printed end-use parts every year.

Creating Unique Pieces

Gone are the days when every lamp or lighting fixture in your home looked the same. With 3D printing, you can make a completely unique piece of lighting design. You’re able to create a new shape — however traditionally unusual or “out there” it may be — that can be used to illuminate different parts of your home, whether it be a chandelier or floor lamp. With 3D, there’s no end to the possibilities of customization. Additionally, not only do these then serve as sources of light, but also as accent pieces to place around your home. 

Increased Variety

Additionally, 3D printing increases the variety of lighting options on the market. This helps to create trends within the industry and to discover what consumers want more and less of. For instance, some designs may be too wild for the average consumer while other modern designs may be super popular. Through this process, you’re able to determine the direction in which the market is heading, seeing which products to create more of and which to step back from. 

Decrease Complexity

Crafting lighting pieces can be a complex process depending on the intricacies of the design. However, with 3D printing, you’re able to perfect every aspect of the design before printing a final product, allowing you to test out new ideas and work out kinks that will make the piece the best that it can be. Additionally, with 3D printing, the process of assembling after printing is much easier. 

Reduced Waste Materials

For larger lighting factories, the utilization of 3D printing will help to decrease the amount of waste they produce. As efforts to go green and be environmentally conscious become more apparent, this is an effective and surefire way to increase production times and output while decreasing waste. 

Lower Costs

Of course, 3D printing also lowers the cost of manufacturing different lighting pieces. If you’re 3D printing your own lighting design, this will allow you to prototype and try out a few designs before choosing a final one. If a lighting design company were to use 3D printing, this would help cut down on overall costs spent while increasing revenue. It’s a win-win situation either way!

Here are 4 ways how the military and army has begun using 3D printing to great results. 

To Construct Barracks

Barracks play a very important role in the military, but constructing them can be difficult and take long periods of time. Thanks to 3D printing, however, that process got much simpler. Last September, the US Marine Corps Systems Command used 3D printing to create a prototype concrete barrack at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Champaign, Illinois. According to New Atlas, the barrack was constructed in just two days. The barrack was 500 sq. ft in size and clearly showed how 3D printing will be incredibly useful going forward. 

To Create Essential Motor Parts

While 3D printing a 500 sq. ft barrack is a big deal, the army is also using 3D printing for smaller tasks. For instance, in Korea, the army uses Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles that include fire extinguisher nozzles that blow off when fire is detected. These vehicles are essential to the army’s survival and safety on mine-invested territory. But one issue that the army began to face was in regards to the caps on the fire extinguishers nozzles that would blow off when they were in use. 

According to the U.S. Army’s website, each vehicle utilizes 20 of these caps. Without them, the vehicle is unusable. But the wait time to construct and order new ones is lengthy: an estimated five months! With 3D printing, however, the army was able to construct these at a must faster rate and at an affordable cost of $2.50 a piece. 

Both the military and army have been using 3D printing to create other small parts essential to everyday missions and success, like the fire extinguisher caps. 

To Make Repairments and Print Parts

3D printing is not only useful to print new parts, but also to repair broken ones. Mike Nikodinovski, a mechanical engineer and additive expert with the Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, explained in an interview that the army has begun using 3D printing to do just that, which increases efficiency in repairing and readiness. 

Printing Surveillance Submarines

Underwater surveillance is essential to the Navy’s safety, as well as our own. And to do this, they use many small surveillance submarines. Why couldn’t 3D printing be used to make them as well? The US Navy’s Disruptive Technology Lab teamed up with the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to do this, printing a submarine that was 9.1m long. 

The process, of course, saved the Navy much time and money. While the initial version was not able to go underwater and perform task perfectly, it showed how 3D printing could aid in the construct of submarines in the future once more kinks were worked out. 

Pushing the military and army towards the future

It’s no surprise that the military and army have taken such a liking to 3D printing: Their work must always be forward-thinking and preventive, and 3D printing falls right in line with that. As they continue trying out the process of 3D printing, it will be no surprise if it becomes integral to their missions in the future.

If you’re a proud drone owner, you probably know how easy it is for something to go wrong or malfunction—or it may simply just fly into something you didn’t see—leaving you with having to find a way to replace certain parts of it. Thankfully, because of 3D printing, you can easily replace and repair your own drones. Here are a few ways how. 

3D printing will cut costs drastically

First off, if you’re not swayed enough quite yet to use 3D printing to replace your drone, consider this: Doing so cuts cost heavily. While some smaller drones may be easy to put together, many of them are complex and because of that, can quickly rise in price. 3D printing will help you cut down the costs associated with replacing your drone parts or repairing it when needed. 

It allows you to customize 

In addition, 3D printing allows you to customize your drone to your own liking. And when you want or need to make adjustments, you don’t need to reach out to a manufacturer to do it—which can be a lengthy, stressful process. Instead, you can can make all changes, adjustments and repairs on your own, at your own pace and to your own liking. 

3D printed drones are faster and lighter

Two qualities that consumers always want to improve when it comes to drones: speed and weight. Obviously the lighter a drone is, the faster—and easier—it can fly. And with 3D printing, you can accomplish just that. 

You can easily repair many drone parts

When something malfunctions or breaks, it’s important to first figure out what part of your drone needs to be replaced. It’s likely that you’ll be able to easily replace that piece using 3D printing. Here are a list of pieces that can easily be repaired through 3D printing: propellers, drone frames and equipment housing, landing gear, protective guards, exoskeleton attachments, antenna holders, and mounts for cameras and other payloads. 

You can 3D print accessories for your drone

And when it comes to customization, here’s a list of the accessories you can easily 3D print for your drone: Carrying cases, radio signal enhancers, targets, landing pads, and cones, tables and displays, repair tools, sun shades for mobile device controllers, remote control unit housings, and landing gear extenders.
