Arris’ (Berkeley, Calif., U.S.) Additive Molding technology combines 3D-aligned continuous fiber additive manufacturing with high-speed compression molding for fabrication of high-performance thermoplastic composite parts for a variety of potential end-use applications. Recently, Arris has partnered with drone manufacturer and autonomous flight technology leader Skydio (Redwood City, Calif., U.S.) to redefine drone airframe design using Additive Molding.
The autonomous Skydio X2 drone, said to be lighter and more robust with longer range than the company’s previously launched consumer drones, has been developed for use in industrial, consumer and defense settings. Notably, Skydio X2’s foldable airframe features a single glass and carbon fiber
