UAV DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Aeronautical Engineering is at the core of our skills and capabilities, with a particular focus on advanced concept design and development. We have an extensive background in the design-on-requirements of unconventional UAVs configurations (fixed or rotary wings, hybrid fixed-wing VTOLs, tailsitters, racing multicopters). Here you can find a list of the main services we offer in this disciplinary segment.

Mechanical Engineering
All the Drones/UAVs/Robots we provide have been mechanically engineered from beginning to end, moving through processes of conceptual design, 3D solid modelling, strength analysis, machining, 3D printing or carbon composite cutting and fabrication support. The same people that design our Unmanned Systems actually make them.

– Design for manufacturability and assembly
RAPID PROTOTYPING
– High resolution 3D printing
– CNC cutting (Wood, carbon fiber, aluminum and plastic)
– Laser cutting (plexiglas, wood)
MANUFACTURING
– CNC Carbon Fiber cutting

FIRMWARE & SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
All the Drones/UAVs/Robots we provide have been assembled, programmed, and tested entirely in-house.
whatever the project you are facing, be it an FPV racing drone, or an autonomous tail sitter for aerial photogrammetry, we are able to develop and integrate all the necessary software stack, up to the completion of the tests.
Here you can see a short list of the main services we provide in this activity area.
