2nd GENERATION

Welcome to the second generation of 3D printed airplanes! Our planes are the lightest of the market.
All our airplanes have been tested and modified if necessary to be adapted to the mechanical properties of new revolutionary filaments such as LW-PLA from Colorfabb. We guarantee you that despite the huge weight reduction our models are still strong enough to make any kind of aerobatics maneuvers
(more than ± 10G) or hard landing (read more)

DOWNLOAD FILES

AND PRINT IT

The process is simple:

1º Buy and download STL files /G-codes and cura profiles.
2º Add the G-codes into your printer and build your plane!

We provide you all the information that you will need.

LEARNING FROM

NATURE

We are totally aware about the design freedom that 3D printing technology gives us, but this freedom should be used in a clever way otherwise you are not taking advantage of this incredible way to manufacture things!.

We are convinced that biomimicry is a great approach to take advantage of this freedom in order to develop low-weight, strong and efficient airplanes. (read more)

DESIGNED TO BE PRINTED

Every small detail has been designed taking into account that it will be 3D printed since the conceptual design phase allowing us to design complex shapes such as winglets which are much more difficult and expensive to build with traditional manufacturing technologies. But our models were also designed to be electric RC planes, this is very important to reduce weight even more.

ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Physics and aerodynamics affect in the same way an Airbus A350 than a small RC airplane. That is why we take each airplane project as an engineering project.

Stress analysis to ensure an acceptable strength and aerodynamics analysis to ensure that the airplane will be stable and efficient are just two of many examples. (read more)

LOW COST

Nowadays you can print functional
parts for complex mechanisms like a radio control airplane even with a low cost 3D printer without losing performances compared with traditional RC planes.

All our models have been tested with Anet A8, which is one of the cheapest printers of the market.

in addition to this, the main electronics components have been standardized, this mean that you can use the same electronic in any of our models reducing even more the price.

YOU CRASH IT

YOU PRINT IT AGAIN

Crashing is part of this hobby, but now you have a factory at home! The great advantage of a 3D printed airplane is that in case you crash it you can print the damaged parts again, which saves a lot of money!. The electronic elements which are more expensive rarely suffer any damage during a crash.

Critical parts are designed to be detachable allowing you to replace them.

Here is our selection of best 3D aircraft files , all these great machines from the Cults and 3D file libraries are perfectly 3D printable for .

This collection includes free 3D files of all types of aircraft. There are many aircraft models of the most prestigious brands, such as Boeing , Airbus , Cessna or Antonov .

Professional 3D printing of has gained a lot of development in the world of aeronautics mainly for very specific applications. For example, this technology makes it possible to create very strong and much lighter parts compared to traditional manufacturing processes.

Of course, you won't find real aircraft parts here, but you will find lots of 3D aircraft models . For lovers of modeling, you can 3D print your own airplane or glider!

Is it safe to print aircraft engines on a 3D printer?0005

In 2015, scientists from Monash University in Australia assembled an entire 3D printed engine:

This is not an isolated case. Boeing and Airbus have long been involved in additive technologies - when a 3D printer manufactures a part in layers, focusing on a computer model. For example, each Boeing 787 passenger airliner has about 30 parts printed using this algorithm, and the Airbus A350 and A320neo have a whole titanium bracket that connects the wings to the engine.

In 2016, Airbus unveiled the world's first fully 3D printed Thor aircraft. It, of course, looks more like an aircraft model: length - 4 m, weight - 21 kg, remote control.

Russia is not far behind. In 2020, a plane with a 3D printed engine was tested in Kazan. A light drone flew at an altitude of 170 m and moved at a speed of 150 km/h. Larger parts are also being printed in Russia, for example, for the new MS-21 airliner and the K-226 helicopter. They are created at the 3D printer farm of the Rostec Additive Technology Center.

How parts are printed

At Rostec, parts are printed from metal, but in the form of a powder with certain properties and granule sizes. At the same time, each 3D printer is designed for a certain type of metal and cannot print on another material.

First, a device inside the printer deposits a layer of metal powder on a special platform. Then a laser, running according to a predetermined program, heats and fuses this layer of powder, causing it to harden. Then the platform on which the cultivation takes place is lowered by the thickness of the layer, and everything repeats. This happens several times, layer by layer. Depending on the size of the part, the process lasts from several hours to several days.

The benefits of 3D printing

Parts become lighter. This is important in the aircraft industry: the weight saved can be used, for example, for additional passenger or luggage space.
Environmentally friendly. When creating parts in the traditional way, the desired element is cut out of a piece of metal, and the rest is thrown away. While working on a 3D printer, there is practically no waste.
Create forms that cannot be reproduced in other ways.
Fast part creation speed.

It is worth noting that it is unlikely that a 3D printer will ever print parts that are cheaply and quickly manufactured using standard technologies.

Printer giant and printer repairman

Not all 3D printers are designed for the same tasks. For example, Rostec's Additive Technology Center has a large 3D printer capable of printing parts up to half a meter in size. Boeing uses these: the company uses printed titanium engine components on its Dreamliner 787 passenger jet.

At the same time, an airplane is not the only thing that can be created on a 3D printer. Relativity Space, for example, wants to launch the world's first fully 3D-printed rocket into orbit in 2021. And these are not some dreamers dreaming about the stars: they have already attracted $700 million in investments, which means they believe in the project.

Another item of interest is Printer Repair . He is able not only to print parts according to a given program, but also to repair them. This machine works a little differently: using direct metal printing technology.

This mechanism consists of two main elements. The first is a source of laser radiation, the second is a special nozzle through which powder is fed in a jet of inert gas. The gas jet and the laser beam are focused at one point, where the powder melts and the part grows.
