Light-weighted 3D Printed Composite AMC
Light-Weighted 3D Printed Composite AMC
❅ Combine the light-weighted feature of plastic with the hard feature of ceramic and carbon fiber
❅ Density 0.5-1.3g/cc
❅ Stiffness can be optimized through additive manufacturing
Applications
Harley-Davidson Bushings
❅ Default bushings are not stiff and anti-vibration enough
❅ AMC bushings are stiffer, lighter and anti-vibration
Default Bushings
Density 1.25g/cc
Weight 10.6g
Hardness 31 Shore D
Volume 8.4cc
AMC Bushings
Density 0.65g/cc
Weight 5.5g
Hardness 75 Shore D
Volume 8.4cc
Applications
Robotic Arm
❅ The design freedom of AMC allows optimized stiffness
❅ Light-weighted AMC not only makes the robotic arm more capable but also protects the circuit board (preventing pulse voltage)

AMC
❅ The aluminum robotic arm is too heavy to lift the object while the AMC robotic arm is able to execute accurately and with less energy consumption (~80%)

Applications
Drones Blades
AMC Blades
Weight 0.74g
66% stiffer than default blades
Hovering RPM ~7000
Default Blades
Weight 0.6g
Hovering RPM ~9000
❅ The stiffness and weight of blades are crucial to drones in terms of energy efficiency and noise
❅ AMC blades take the perfect balance between stiffness and weight and that contributes to longer (lower hovering RPM) and quieter flight
Hovering RPM Measurement
❅ Lower hovering RPM contributes to better energy efficiency (~25%) and quieter (~10dB) flight
AMC Blades (~7000RPM)
Default Blades (~9000RPM)
Drone Frame Designed by Machine Learing
❅ The distortion and weight of drone frame can be minimized through machine learning design
Distorsion(mm)
❅ This reduced weight improves unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) agility, maneuverability, payload capacity, endurance, and range with less noise, making AMCF an essential material for optimizing drone performance.
