Six reasons engineers choose our RIM-molded drone structures
Zero signal shadowing for GNSS, 5G, RC link & telemetry. No metallic mesh interference. Fly further, communicate clearer.
Unnotched impact 80 kJ/m². Ductile failure mode absorbs crash energy instead of splintering like FRP or carbon.
1.03 g/cm³ density — 40% lighter than steel equivalents. Every gram saved extends flight time.
Class-A finish out of the mold. Accepts PU/epoxy/UV topcoat directly. No gel coat required.
Complex curvatures, integrated ribs, mounting bosses, antenna cutouts — all molded in one shot.
Tooling 60–80% cheaper than injection. Viable from 50 pcs. No minimum run penalty.

Where PDCPD UAV shells are flying today
250mm to 1800mm span. Crash-tolerant shell replaces carbon fiber skins at 40% lower tooling cost.
Central fuselage for hybrid fixed-wing. RF-transparent canopy allows internal GPS without signal loss.
Smooth Class-A surface, paint-ready. Integrated mount points for camera/gimbal hardware.
Zero signal attenuation. Protects sensitive RF equipment in harsh environments.
For non-primary-load skins and covers, yes — cheaper tooling, isotropic impact, RF-transparent. Primary spars still benefit from carbon/Al.
2 mm reliable; 1.5 mm on small parts with support ribs. Thick sections up to 12 mm without sink marks.
~30 days including aluminum mold and first article. Repeat batches ship in 18–25 days after mold approval.
Yes. Standard NDA before STEP exchange. All client designs confidential. Molds marked as client-owned.
Accepts PU, epoxy, UV topcoat directly. No gel coat needed. Any RAL/Pantone color available.
Yes. Brass or steel threaded inserts can be molded in-place. Gasket grooves, mounting tabs and snap-fits also supported.
STEP (.stp), IGES (.igs), Parasolid (.x_t), STL, and native SolidWorks/Creo files. STEP preferred.
