Seven fourth-year students from University of Warwick have worked together to prototype reusable moulds for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) body. By using additive-manufacturing techniques in aerospace innovation, they hope to create a drone capable of flying humanitarian missions where traditional road access is limited. Another application is mountain rescue.

Confectionery is the art of making confections. Whether this is performed by hand or machine, the principle is the same. A high-quality product is always the desired outcome and automated production lines spit out a consistent quality. It’s a case of setting up the machine, pressing go and letting the batch run. We

Nylon is stronger and more durable than PLA or ABS. It has high impact and abrasion resistance and very low friction. It’s flexible and bendy when printed thin, yet robust and solid when printed thick. Perhaps its best characteristic however is its impressive dimensional stability: it maintains shape when exposed
