Minneapolis-based Stratasys (Nasdaq:SSYS) and Optomec Inc., located in Albuquerque, announced that the companies have successfully completed a joint development project that merges 3D printing and printed electronics to create the world’s first fully printed hybrid structure.
The first project, the development of a “smart wing” for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) model with functional electronics has the potential to change product development in industries including medical device, consumer electronics, automotive and aerospace. A video on stratasys.com discusses the making of hybrid structures.
