Blue Robotics develops submarine drones with 3D printing

When it comes to aerial drones, everyone may be familiar, but submarine drones are rarely known.

Blue Robotics is a Southern California company specializing in the manufacture of underwater machinery. Recently, the company developed a series of submarine drone components with 3D printing technology , the most important of which is its thruster T200. Rusty Jehangir, the company's founder, explained that Blue Robotics is focused on providing high quality and affordable underwater mechanical components.

Blue Robotics said on its website: "At first we wanted to ship a solar-powered mechanical boat from Los Angeles to Hawaii, and it was completely autonomously controlled by GPS. But when we found all the key components, we only had a suitable recommendation. Instrument."

In other words, Jehangir and his team could not find a propeller that could withstand the high salt content of the seawater, and that it could continue to operate and be affordable to ordinary people. And this problem has been encountered by many people who study underwater robots and drones. This is the opportunity for Blue Robotics to set up and manufacture high quality propellers that are more affordable and reliable.

In order to create this low-cost, high-quality propeller, I had to incorporate 3D printing technology, so Blue Robotics found the French 3D printing service provider Sculpteo for help.

Jehangir said: "The marine robot industry has killed a lot of innovations because of its high price, and 3D printing can provide rapid and low-cost prototyping and manufacturing."

3D printing enables Blue Robotics to quickly develop and test its products before mass production, which directly kills traditional manufacturing processes because the cost of mold opening is very expensive and wasteful.

Through the 3D design, the company built a propeller T200 equipped with a dual tool for the motor and propeller, which was able to fully sneak into the sea for operation and operation.

In August last year, Blue Robotics was successful in the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, raising $100,000 in startup funding, and the company's underwater drones and their propellers also won the 2014 "coolest creative award." Currently, their T200 thrusters are already available for purchase through the company's website.

3D printing offers new avenues for development in many areas and startups, and Blue Robotics is the best example.
