CODRONE is a Danish startup specialised in developing autonomous drones for inspection and surveillance solutions that do not require drone pilots.
During the development phase of their first commercial product, Aluco, it quickly became clear to the engineers that the high design requirements ruled out traditional manufacturing methods. With the need for complex geometries, durability, low weight, and as few parts as possible, Prototal was able to assist CODRONE with prototypes and production.
Thanks to the possibilities of industrial 3D printing, CODRONE gains an entirely new level of design freedom, making it possible to:
- design complex geometries, including for the electronic components, into a durable, protective, and structural shell,
- eliminate unnecessary material from the product, resulting in a lighter drone and longer flight time,
- and reduce the number of components that need to be manufactured and assembled after production.
”In addition to the functional benefits, we also save time throughout the development process. With industrial 3D printing, we can go straight from prototype to production of the finished drone, as the quality and finish of the components from Prototal are extremely high.”
