Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the use of materials for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), developed using additive technologies (AT). The samples of materials mentioned in the article have the prospect of becoming advanced in modern UAVs production. The main factors that affect the properties of the printed material with the help of AT are also identified.
Today, the production of materials for the manufacture of UAVs is developing rapidly, becoming more technological; production volumes are increasing, accuracy and quality of manufacturing parts are increasing with reduced costs. Additive technologies are ideal for the manufacture, printing, repair and modification of modern UAVs. Many parts for UAVs can be printed on a 3D printer. The use of AT is clearly demonstrated to optimize the production of UAV parts. In the case of the usual method of production of UAVs, their cost and complexity is quite high. The introduction of AT allows to significantly reduce the weight of the UAV components by reducing material costs.
Studies have shown that the use of AT in the production of UAVs at the present stage will provide an opportunity to increase the aerodynamic characteristics of UAVs, reduce overall weight, and will allow the collection and repair of UAVs in the field. AT will also ensure the production of replacement parts that are needed in small volumes and that cannot be manufactured using traditional production technologies in the field.
Thus, the introduction of AT will lead to a change in existing principles of design of printing technologies, the application of new approaches in the construction of modern 3D printers, the emergence of new, related to 3D printing technologies. That’s why the study of factors that affect the properties of the printed material of UAVs is highly relevant task and needs further research.

Keywords
