The Usa company DragonPlate has just released UAV quadcopter frame kits, that provide the basic structure necessary for anyone interested in building their own carbon fibre multi-rotor. Full CAD models are available for download for each kit.
This allows the integration of motors, controllers, batteries and cameras into the design before even purchasing the components. Expert level builders will be able to use the CAD models as a baseline for more sophisticated designs, for example larger units with additional rotors.
In addition to the new quadcopter kits, Dragonplate has all of the carbon fibre components and connectors necessary to make virtually any multi-rotor configuration. End-users spanning from hobbyists to the US military have used Dragonplate standard and high modulus carbon fibre products and connectors to build UAVs ranging from large camera platforms to racing drones.
Of particular interest to builders are the high modulus products, which are up to 3 times stiffer than standard carbon fibre products, and Dragonplate Kevlar products.
