3D printers have become all of the rage these days and there are plenty of good reasons for that. After all, these devices can do some pretty amazing things like creating spectacular architectural models and even working gears that are ready to go immediately upon render. But how about printing a model airplane that can actually fly? Yes, they can now do that also.
This isn’t a small model either – it has a 6.5 foot wingspan. It was created by students at the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science and they have posted a video of the model actually taking flight. This isn’t the first time that 3D printer device has accomplished this feat, but it may be the first time it has been pulled off by students.
The era of 3D printing has certainly arrived and we are seeing better and more advanced projects appearing all of the time. We certainly aren’t at the point where we can print a real aircraft, but medical devices are already being developed using these incredible pieces of hardware.
