Service Spotlight: Lightweight MJF for Enhanced Drone Performance
As demand for high-performance UAVs grows, lightweight design is becoming increasingly important. Our advanced Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) process produces lightweight, high-precision components with wall thicknesses down to 0.4–0.6 mm - helping improve flight efficiency without compromising strength.
Our capabilities include:
- Lightweight geometries for improved performance
- Advanced HP 5600 MJF technology
- Engineering support for design optimisation
- Fast iterations and scalable production
Key Insight Session
Anastasios Pantelis, Senior Project Engineer, will present:
"The New Competitive Edge in Drones: Designing for Performance While Managing Risk".
As drone companies face increasing pressure to deliver lighter, higher-performing systems while managing costs, lead times, and supply chain uncertainty, design decisions have become a key competitive advantage. In this session, Anastasios will explore how leading teams are balancing these trade-offs to accelerate development, improve scalability, and strengthen long-term competitiveness. He'll also demonstrate how Protolabs helps customers overcome these challenges through rapid, on-demand manufacturing. With extensive experience in developing technical solutions and driving continuous improvement, Anastasios brings practical insights from across the industry.
