CAPABILITIES

What we print for drone and UAV teams

San Diego has one of the densest UAV/FPV scenes in the country — defense, biotech aerial imaging, freestyle, and long-range. We print for all of them.

FPV frames with carbon-fiber nylon

PA6-CF30 and PET-CF frames absorb motor heat soak without warping. We print freestyle, long-range, cinewhoop, and ducted frames in the San Diego shop on our composite-capable FDM fleet.

Camera mounts and gimbals

Custom action-cam, GoPro, and DJI mounts — PET-CF for stiffness, TPU for vibration damping. We print replacement parts that cost less than off-the-shelf and fit better.

Payload enclosures and housings

Commercial UAV payload bays, antenna housings, FPV pod shells. PETG for weatherproof jobs, PC for impact-critical covers, PA6-CF for structural.

Landing gear and skids

Flex-tolerant TPU skids that take the abuse of rough landings. Swappable designs for platforms like DJI Matrice, Autel EVO, and custom commercial UAVs.

Motor mounts and arms

High-heat PA6-CF30 (180°C HDT) handles the temperatures motor mounts reach after long rips. We print them same-day for local San Diego pilots.

No minimum — one frame or fifty

Dialing in a new frame design? Print one. Happy with the prototype? Print forty for your team. Bulk discounts kick in at 6 units and scale up from there.

MATERIALS

Materials we stock for drone work

Carbon-fiber composites and high-performance thermoplastics. Every material ships from our San Diego shop dry-stored and ready to print.

Drone 3D printing FAQ

Which 3D printing material is best for a drone frame?+
PET-CF is the sweet spot for most FPV and freestyle frames — stiff, low-warp, strong enough to survive crashes. PA6-CF30 is the premium pick when motor heat or load-bearing stress is extreme. TPU is perfect for vibration-damping mounts and flexible skids.
How much does it cost to print a 5" FPV frame?+
A 5" freestyle frame in PET-CF runs roughly $30–$50 depending on volume (100–150 cm³ typical), quality, and infill. PA6-CF30 is about 1.75× that. See /pricing for the exact math.
Do you print replacement arms for DJI / Autel drones?+
Yes — we routinely print replacement arms for consumer platforms when OEM parts are backordered or discontinued. Bring your own STL or send a photo + dimensions and our CAD team will model it.
How long does a drone frame take to print?+
Most 5" frames finish in 8–12 hours of print time. At standard turnaround you'll have it in 3-5 business days; rush (1-2 days) is available. Local San Diego pickup is free if you want it faster.
Can I pick up in San Diego?+
Yes. We're at 7940 Silverton Ave Ste 216, San Diego, CA 92126 — Miramar / Kearny Mesa area, right off 805. Local pickup is free during business hours.
