The 3D Printer is a Creality Model CR-2020. It is chosen for its ruggedness and its ability to withstand heavy use by students and teachers. It features a heavy all-metal frame, dual railings for the printhead and 4 corner print bed stability.

Yes. With its notched extruder wheel, you can print solid materials such as ABS, PLA, Copper, Carbon Fiber and Acrylic as well as soft materials such as NinjaFlex, Silicon and TPE. Its nozzle supports printing temperatures of up to 350C.

Yes. It can heat up to 130C

Yes. It comes with its own Creality software and it is compatible with many other 3D printing software such as S3D, All3DP, Netfabb, Cura, etc…

CAD software is for designing and creating 3D models and meshes that export these mesh-type files to such formats as .STL. 

3D printing software takes these mesh files and converts them into machine code (sliced X,Y,Z parameters) that a 3D printer can understand. Most common 3D printer file types are .GCODE and .X3G.

These STEM drones are a 3D printable drone kit. Unlike other drones on the market, these arrive unassembled and must be programmed by the students. During the assembly process, students will learn about 3D printing, Aerospace Engineering CAD design, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Coding, and Piloting/Operating.

Yes, these kits come with everything needed to assemble and fly a small drone.

Up to four students may be assigned to each drone kit. Students will quickly find their individual strengths and skill set on the assembly and learning project.

No, however, they are available as an optional addition to the kit.

A complete drone set with battery bracket and camera bracket takes roughly one hour. A drone frame by itself takes about 35 minutes. Battery and camera bracket by themselves take about 20 minutes to print.

Yes. With our add-on kits and different frame types available, this kit can expand significantly. (Land & Sea and drone accessories available soon)

Yes. There are training frames, engineering utility frames and lightweight racing/stunt flying frames available. 

Yes. You can race each other or enter micro-drone racing league series.

Yes. With 2.4Ghz and over 80 channels available, you can fly up to 80 drones at the same time.

Our step-by-step curriculum and training program

Yes. These weigh less than 50 grams and are exempt from FAA drone regulations.

A flight controller, Radio Controller, FPV headset, FPV camera, 4 Motors (2CW & 2CCW), 2 Sets of propellers (4CW & 4 CCW), Two 3.7V Lithium Ion Batteries, One Battery Charger, One USB Charger, Micro USB cable, AV Video cable, instruction manual & assembly manual, Pre-flight checklist.

Yes. There are three flight modes:

• Trainer Mode
  • Control authority is reduced to 25% movement-ability and drone lean angles are limited to 30° and the drone self-levels.
• Intermediate Mode
  • Control authority is increased to 80% movement-ability and drone lean angles are no limited. Drone self-leveling is still active.
• Advanced Racer Mode
  • Control authority is at 100% movement-ability and there are no drone lean angle limits and the drone does not self-level.

Self-leveling means that the drone will return to a level flight position when the controls are released.

Non self-leveling means that the drone will stay at the flight angle that the user places it at. This is useful for racing and acrobatics, as you don’t have to keep “pushing” the drone controls to continue flying forward. Example: Lean the drone forward 30 degrees with the controls, release controls and the drone will continue flying forward, whereas in self-leveling, the drone will slow down once the controls are released.

Yes. The camera is removable and not necessary for flight.

Typically 5-10 minutes in training mode and gentle flying.

3-5 minutes when aggressively flying.

NOTE: Flight times depend on frame type, payload, weather conditions and user.

On average, a fully drained battery will recharge within 30 minutes.

Yes. These batteries have an internal short protection and are puncture resistant.

Yes. In a typical operation, there is no damage that can occur. The propellers are safe and do not cut skin easily.
