The Drone Bird Company has developed a line of drones that mimic birds of prey like falcons in both outward appearance and flight pattern.

These drone birds can be purchased or hired as a service to scare away real birds from airports, farms, power plants and other settings where their presence could be a nuisance or a hazard.

The fuselages for these drones were initially produced through hand layup of glass fiber and epoxy which was time-consuming and not scalable.

The Drone Bird Company worked with Parts on Demand to move into production through selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing, ultimately adopting a glass sphere-filled polymer from Advanced Laser Materials (ALM) to achieve lightweight, durable drone bodies that can be made repeatably at scale.
