ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 8, 2024 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC) ("Unusual Machines" or the "Company"), has adopted HP's Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology for the production of drone components, particularly for FPV (First-Person View) drones, known for their demanding performance and durability requirements.

Unusual Machines partnered with HP 3D Printing to determine the best components for the introduction of their MJF production process. The first commercial product using this technology at scale is the SkyLite one of Rotor Riot's top-selling platforms. Notably, Unusual Machines' adoption of HP's MJF technology will support domestic manufacturing efforts, with all MJF parts being produced by Forecast3D domestically in the United States. This aligns with Unusual Machines' mission to ensure quality and promote United States industry growth.

"In order for our products to remain competitively priced while moving production to the U.S., we have to use innovative production processes," said Allan Evans, CEO of Unusual Machines. "The implementation of HP's advanced 3D printing technology is not only helping us control costs, but allows us to create higher quality products capable of meeting the performance demands of FPV drones."

HP's Multi Jet Fusion technology offers significant advantages in producing intricate designs with robust strength and durability, ideal for the exacting requirements of FPV drone operations. In an environment where agility and rapid response to design changes are crucial, MJF excels by enabling the simultaneous manufacturing of multiple parts with superior finishes. Extensive testing confirmed that TPU materials, available via HP's 3D printing technology, are the optimal choice for drone production due to their exceptional resilience, ensuring that these remain virtually indestructible even in the event of a crash. Moreover, MJF technology provides cost savings in production while also enhancing product quality.

"At HP, we believe 3D printing is a catalyst for innovation, which is why we are excited to partner with Unusual Machines and bring Multi Jet Fusion technology to shape the future of drone manufacturing", said Brian Ingold, Head of Go-to-Market Solutions, HP Personalization & 3D Printing. Together, we are setting a new standard in drone production, performance, and quality assurance, which we are eager to see evolve and grow."

Unusual Machines is proud to announce that parts manufactured using HP's MJF technology for the SkyLite drone are now available for purchase, and all future SkyLite drones will be produced using these advanced 3D printed components.
