Abstract

In this article, a solution for parametrization of drone parts by following a structured approach is proposed. Through this research, the authors attempt to contribute with a solution for those users that can have a 3D printer, but not necessarily have the specific knowledge to create appropriate parts for their drone or related modifications. A master 3D model has been created, which can be modified through a simple user interface, allowing to modify the general 3D model. The solution aims to manufacture the master model according to different drone sizes.
