3D Printing Robotics, Drones and Electronics

Every hardware startup knows that moment: the part you need does not exist, traditional suppliers ask for minimums of thousands of units, and the next pitch is in three weeks. Strato3D works with hardware startups, professional makerspaces, robotics integrators and research labs to produce shells, housings, frames and mechanical components — from the initial prototype to the small pre-production run, with materials that hold up in the real application.

What we produce for robotics and drones

Shells and housings for electronics (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, custom boards)
Chassis and frames for drones and mobile robots
Camera and gimbal mounts, customised for drones
Robotic arms, grippers, custom end-effectors
Gears and transmissions for small robotics
Sensors, LiDAR mounts, fixings for sensor systems
Aerodynamic parts for drones (propellers, profiles, fairings)
IP-rated outdoor enclosures for IoT devices
Casings, heat sinks, ventilation systems for electronics
Product development models for hardware startups

Technologies for technical projects

For mechanical strength we use FDM with PA-CF, PETG-CF, ABS and polycarbonate: maximum stiffness and temperature resistance. For high-precision details (optics, sensors, microelectronics) we use SLA. For small pre-production runs of complex shells we use SLS in PA12: isotropic, robust, ideal for certification.

Technical standards

We work with STEP, IGES, STL files and native CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, FreeCAD). We can handle tight tolerances for mechanical fits, metal threaded inserts for fastenings, conductive ESD finishes on request.

Fast iteration, NDA, documentation

A new prototype in 48 hours means being able to go through three versions in a week — essential when the product is still evolving. We sign an NDA by default for those with sensitive IP to protect. For projects requiring certification (CE, RoHS, regulated applications) we produce technical documentation on process and materials. We know the hardware community in Milan and Brianza: many startups find us as early as the second week after their first prototype.
