AUVSI XPONENTIAL Europe: March 24-26
ARRIS is excited to announce its participation in AUVSI XPONENTIAL Europe, taking place March 24-26, 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany. As a premier event for the global unmanned systems and robotics community, XPONENTIAL Europe brings together drone manufacturers, defense primes, and autonomous systems innovators to explore the latest advances in UAS technology.
ARRIS’s Additive Molding technology is purpose-built for drone and UAV structures — delivering stronger, lighter, and simpler composite parts that replace traditional metal and injection-molded components. Our continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic parts achieve unmatched strength-to-weight ratios, enabling longer flight times, greater payload capacity, and improved crash survivability.
Primary and secondary drone structures ideal for Additive Molding:
- Chassis — Single-piece monocoque airframes that consolidate dozens of fastened parts into one molded structure
- Motor Mounts — High-stiffness, vibration-resistant mounts that maintain precise motor alignment under load
- Propeller Guards — Lightweight, impact-resistant guards that protect rotors during close-proximity operations
- Arms — Continuous fiber-reinforced boom arms with superior fatigue life and stiffness-to-weight performance
- Landing Legs — Tough, energy-absorbing landing gear designed to survive repeated hard landings
- Camera and Sensor Mounts — Dimensionally stable enclosures that minimize vibration transfer to sensitive payloads
Key advantages of ARRIS composites for drone platforms:
- Weight Savings — Up to 50% lighter than aluminum with superior specific strength
- Durability — Thermoplastic matrix provides excellent impact resistance and fatigue performance
- Integrated Structures / Part Consolidation — Reduce assembly complexity by combining multiple parts into single molded components
Come visit the ARRIS team in Düsseldorf to see how Additive Molding can transform your drone platform. Want to meet up? Reach out directly (message us) and let’s get together!
