Calculation of the quadrocopter frame deformation with using the finite element method

The calculation of a drone frame deformation was carried out with using the finite element method (FEM). Four different materials (PETG, PLA, ABS and CFRP - carbon fiber reinforced polymer) were taken into account. In case of PETG, PLA and ABS the analysis was performed for two thickness values: 3 mm and 5 mm. The calculations for PETG, PLA and ABS were made in order to check the possibility for making the frame using the 3D printing technology. This technology reduces the element cost by almost 50% and reduc-es assembling time [1].
