Electro Supply

Problem Statement

To design a secure transport system compatible with aerodynamic flight that utilizes weight reduction techniques, weather and shock protection, and can be successfully 3D Printed within the 14x10x14in size parameters.

Inspiration

I have seen drones take little time to pick up the box, but this electromagnetic box attach to drone very quickly so the medical supply is delivered on time.

Pick Up

My design solution utilizes electromagnetic technology to allow a compatible drone to securely transport the carrier. Utilizing the properties of electromagnetism, a drone would be able to easily retrieve any supply carrier that has a ferrous material built into it. The versatility of being able to pick up a package on command without human intervention is very rare in the drone transportation industry.

Limitations of 3D Printing

Because 3d printers are unable to print strong enough fasteners such as nuts and bolts, a few extra parts are required to complete this build. Below is a list of the extra hardware required for this build. • Screws for parachute mounting points • 13in threaded rod for the rear hinge • Screws for the latch mechanisms • Ferrous plate metal for the top of the carrier • Flathead bolts to mount the metal plate
