The prestigious 'New Scientist' magazine has featured 'the world's first printed plane' in its 29 July 2011 issue. A collaborative venture between The University of Southampton and 3T, the plane went from drawing board to flight in seven days - two days for design and five days to produce the component parts using plastic additive manufacturing (AM).

The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has a wing span of 1.5m and was made of four parts (two wings, a body and a nose cone) along with an internal component tray - all 'printed' using 3T's AM technology.  The first flight of the UAV was captured on video by the New Scientist. The 3T case study gives more background to the project.
