![]() Virgin Galactic fatal crash sends tremors through commercial space industry
PIRatE Labs insight:
There are many reasons to develop remotely piloted systems. While we are still in need of physically going to places ourselves at times, the coast and mechanics of doing so can be daunting. We should keep exploring and pushing, but Remotely Piloted Systems can help get us to some places and illuminate some things more cheaply and with less risk.

Although the printing of plastics for medical devices and the promise of glass 3D printing both offer potentially revolutionary qualities, the capabilities granted by metal 3D printing are currently changing billion dollar industries at an incredibly rapid pace. Mega companies like Boeing and GE Aviation are just two out of many industry leaders investing millions in additive manufacturing for metal components and rapid prototyping.

PIRatE Labs insight:
We currently utilize plastic printers, but the advent of metal printing (in an affordable setting) would radically improve the capacity of our "micro" design and fabrication efforts. |
They say that UAS will be on the fringe of society until Insurance Companies embrace them. Well, take a look at this.
