In-House Manufacturing Lab

Product development for the drone industry.

heliguy™ Lab is our new in-house manufacturing and design department, engineered to drive industry innovation.

We have increased our capabilities through a significant investment in 3D printing technology, enabling us to conduct onsite prototyping, manufacturing and product development to a commercial-grade quality.

Our 3D Printers

Industrial-grade 3D printing and post-processing machines

Commercial grade 3D Printing

Our machines can print a variety of high tensile strength materials, such as carbon fibre, fibreglass, Kevlar, nylon, and ESD (electrostatic discharge), as well as fire-resistant materials.

Formlabs 3L

The Formlabs 3L is engineered to manufacture large-scale prints and supports more than 15 functional resins.

It delivers incredible build quality, providing a smooth surface finish and fine detail that stereolithography 3D printing is known for.

Models printed on the Form 3L resemble polished injection-molded parts for realistic prototyping and consumer-ready end-use part production.

The 3L balances detail and speed to enable quick and quality iterations.

Formlabs Fuse 1

The Fuse 1, engineered by formlabs, delivers industrial-grade nylon parts.

This machine uses the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing technique, fusing nylon powder, layer by layer.

This allows for the creation of intricate geometries, interlocking parts, interior channels, and other complex designs.

Products built with the Fuse 1 combine strength, flexibility, and detail - ideal for rigorous testing and commercial use.

Markforged X7

The Markforged X7 is an industrial 3D printer which creates 3D printed parts as strong as machined aluminium, but at a fraction of the weight and cost.

It can fabricate all kinds of functional parts, whether that's flame resistant, chemical resistant, energy absorbent, high resolution, or draft parts.

The Markforged X7 creates parts that are far stronger than normal 3D printed objects.

Utilising micron-level laser scanning for closed-loop calibration, the X7 reliably yields parts with high repeatability and a near-perfect surface finish.

AM Solutions M1

The M1 is a post-processing machine from AM Solutions.

It adds the finishing touches to treat or refine 3D-printed parts, such as removing excess material, washing and curing, or sanding and polishing.

The enhanced surface finish helps to improve component performance and the general aesthetic of the part.

The M1 is especially suited to surface smoothing and polishing of 3D printed components made from metal or plastic.

Distributed Manufacturing

Rapid Prototyping and 3D Printing for the drone industry.

heliguy™ Lab facilitates the production process - which is often the missing link in an SME's R&D vision and can halt momentum. heliguy™ has learnt this from experience, with our previous in-house R&D projects.

Tactical Dog Camera

heliguy™’s design team has also created a bespoke dog camera, engineered for police and security/surveillance personnel.

The device features a high-definition camera which is attached to the dog and rapidly transmits footage back to a screen which can be worn and monitored by police and surveillance crews.

It is especially suited for house clearances, firearms operations and search and rescue.

The dog cam reflects our approach of taking drone-industry technology into other areas.

Mavic 2 Drone Cage

We altered our manufacturing process on our Mavic 2 Drone Cage to ensure our V2 frame was stronger, higher-quality and more-professional, as well as increasing turnaround times, compared to the first version of the product.

We are further tweaking this approach, and by investing in 3D printing technology, heliguy™ Lab will be able to manufacture the V3 cage completely in-house, to further decrease lead times and print replacement components quickly and easily.

The Mavic 2 drone cage is a lightweight, robust and collision-proof frame, enabling operators to collect data safely - especially in confined spaces, indoors or from hard-to-access locations.

It is a cost-effective solution to the caged drone market and is being deployed around the world.

Future Projects and New Designs

Collaborations, NDAs, And Secure Protocols

Utilsing our suite of 3D printing machines, heliguy™ will be working on our own unique projects.

But we will certainly consider small projects in between, working with companies or forming partnerships to problem-solve and bring innovative solutions to market.

As part of this, we have secure protocols in place and can enter into intellectual property agreements. We also understand how sensitive some projects can be, so we are happy to enter into NDAs to ensure our clients’ ideas are kept secret, for as long as they want them to remain behind closed doors.

We have also forged some key partnerships, including with the National Physical Laboratory, in London, as well as pioneering talks with Samsung about rolling out technology within the S20 Tactical Edition for further drone control.
