Sculpteo’s 3D printing expertise used to develop drone solutions

Sculpteo has announced that Dronavia, a French specialist in safety systems for professional drones, has enlisted its expertise for the design and production of technical components.

Dronavia designs parachute systems, circuit breakers, remote identification, and geocaging devices – critical components for flight safety in complex scenarios. Their integration relies on lightweight technical parts tailored to each drone model, built to withstand shocks and mechanical stress.

Using Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology and PA12 material, Sculpteo 3D prints custom structural components for Dronavia: circuit breaker housings, detection enclosures, technical shells. This fast, precise, and reliable production supports compliance with EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) standards.

Alexandre d’Orsetti CEO of Sculpteo, said: ‘We see additive manufacturing not merely as a means to produce parts but as a catalyst for reimagining design and production. It is about cultivating a manufacturing ecosystem that is agile, efficient, and innovation focused. Dronavia’s success shows how embracing 3D printing doesn’t just solve problems, it transforms them into unique strategic advantages.’

Ludovic Pelletey, CEO and research and development director at Dronavia, said: ‘We need great design freedom and very short lead times to support the launch of each new drone. 3D printing with Sculpteo allows us to go from concept to production in just a few days, while ensuring optimal quality.’
