Drones are hot right now, and are developing quickly, not just in terms of technology but also aesthetics. Ferrari, Harley-Davidson and other large brand name vehicle manufacturers have huge followings because their products don’t just perform, they look great while doing it. Drones may be earlier in their adoption of aesthetic designs but will likely go the same route as high end cars as customization and looking cool become increasingly important to consumers.
One Shapeways designer and drone manufacturer recognizes this. Microdronecases, a shop run by beloved shop owner Kai Branchers (who also runs a shop making decorative home goods and artwork), is creating new sculptural cases for customizing your microdrone, like the Microdone 3.0 from extremeflyers, one of the coolest little drones to come out in years.
For the past few weeks Kai has been documenting his process of adopting his “wasp” case to the new Microdrone 3.0 body on his Facebook page and the results are a pleasure to watch. It really transforms the drone into a giant flying bee.
Keep an eye on the Microdronecases Shapeways shop and their Facebook page for more cool cases to customize the Microdrone 3.0
