Schiebel optimized the design of its CAMCOPTER® S-100 unmanned aerial system using simulation-driven design and additive manufacturing. The company needed lightweight, robust components that met strict airworthiness and certification requirements. Using topology optimization, CFD, multibody simulation, and thermal stress analysis, Schiebel redesigned engine and structural parts for improved performance. Simulation reduced component weight by up to 50% while maintaining stiffness and durability. The integrated approach shortened development timelines, reduced manufacturing costs, and enabled faster certification, allowing Schiebel to deliver a highly efficient, mission-ready aerial system.
