Abstract

This article presents a strength analysis of drone structural components made of polymeric materials (PLA, PETG, ASA). The geometry of three-dimensional research models was developed and constructed using artificial intelligence-based software. The geometric data was processed into a form suitable for production using a 3D printer based on MEX (Material Extrusion) polymer layer extrusion technology. Strength tests of the drone's arms, which serve as motor mounts, were performed using a static bending tester equipped with a special fixture.
