A team of applied industrial electronics students at Aalborg University in Denmark has built and tested a 3D-printed hybrid drone that can take off, plunge underwater, maneuver beneath the surface and ...

The airframe was printed using a Bambu Lab A1 3D printer, a desktop device Xu used to manufacture the composite parts required for the drone’s airframe and flight surfaces.

The 3D-printed drones cost between $2,000 and $3,000 each. The biggest challenge has been getting parts approved by the Defense Department.

The team’s drone, built using 3D printing technology, features custom sensors that measure wind speed, pressure, and GPS tracking. Unlike traditional drones, this model is designed to withstand ...
