Reconnaissance and surveillance UAV
Fixed-wing, multirotor or VTOL platforms for observation, mapping, thermal imaging and data collection.
HP MULTI JET FUSION
3D printing for drones and unmanned systems
Functional polymer components for aerial, surface and underwater platforms — from rapid iteration to repeatable production.
PLATFORM TYPES
Unmanned systems supported by additive manufacturing
MJF supports platform component development and production. Material and design are validated against loads, temperature, UV, moisture, chemicals, safety and certification requirements.
Industrial and inspection
Inspection of energy assets, infrastructure, roofs, towers, pipelines and hard-to-reach areas.
Logistics and cargo
Modular platforms for delivery and transport of sensors or cargo, with quick-change payload modules.
Agricultural and environmental
Crop and terrain monitoring, imaging, measurement and specialised modules for environmental projects.
Surface water systems — USV
Uncrewed vessels for inspection, measurement, surveillance and sampling in ports and inland waters.
Underwater — ROV and UUV
Modular housings, sensor mounts, guards and hydrodynamic elements for remotely operated and autonomous platforms.
Defence and security applications: we can support functional components for reconnaissance, surveillance, communications, logistics and other specialised unmanned platforms. This page does not present weaponisation or weapons integration; final qualification and certification remain the platform manufacturer's responsibility.
COMPONENTS
What HP MJF can produce
Structure and aerodynamics
Housings, fairings, ducts, intakes, propeller guards, wings and joining elements optimised for low mass and part consolidation.
Sensors and electronics
Gimbal and camera mounts, electronics, antenna and sensor housings, cable guides, cooling ducts and covers.
Energy and payload
Battery enclosures, brackets, quick-change payload modules, equipment holders and mission-specific interfaces.
Prototype and testing
Rapid geometry iterations, functional prototypes, test assemblies and low-volume series without conventional tooling.
Production tooling
Assembly fixtures, templates, inspection tools, transport nests and aids for repeatable production.
Spare parts
Digital inventory and on-demand production once the model, material and quality criteria are approved.
