In fact, Brook Drumm, CEO of Printrbot, has lent a huge hand to Roy’s cause with a major contribution to the project. Roy isn’t alone on this project, as he has received the help of many along the way. He believes that more people should be using this type of licensing in order to help 3D printing grow as a technology. It is entirely open source, and Roy himself is a huge supporter of open sourcing of 3D printable designs.
The flying wing, as you can see in the photos, is quite the amazing design. I also use carbon fibre spars, balsa for sheeting and shrink wrap (ultrakote).” However practically all the parts are 3D printed. “It is a 1m wingspan, mostly 3D printed flying wing,” Roy tells “I’m using a built-up construction technique that’s familliar to traditional balsa and plywood airplane model builders. He loved the customization aspects that 3D printing provided but he didn’t want to just create the same things that were already abundant on the internet, so he decided to design and fabricate a 3D printed flying wing, called the OpenRC Swift, as part of the OpenRC Project. Now, one mechanical engineer from Vancouver Island, in Canada, named André Roy has taken this a step further.

all available to download and 3D print free of charge from websites such as Thingiverse. We’ve also seen endless amounts of drone-like aerial vehicles come to be via 3D printing with a plethora of designs for quadcopters, hexacopters, etc. There are individuals out there who are 3D printing everything from small parts for their RC vehicles, to entire full-body buggies and truggies. There are amazing projects such as the OpenRC Project and OpenRailway Project, which have taken the idea of radio-controlled vehicles and added in complete customization options via 3D printing. 3D printing and RC vehicles have become quite the craze as of late within the 3D printing community.
