Building Smarter, Flying Further: HP’s Additive Manufacturing Team Is Changing the Way Drones Are Made
HP’s additive manufacturing team is transforming drone production with 3D printing, enabling lighter, smarter, and more scalable aircraft.
A quiet revolution is happening inside HP’s additive manufacturing division, where the team is using 3D printing to enable full-scale, flight-ready manufacturing, rather than just prototyping.
Gino Balistreri, Global Head of Unmanned Systems for HP Additive Manufacturing, and David Mazo, Aerospace Engineering Group Lead for HP Additive Manufacturing, are leading this transformation.
In an interview, they discussed how additive manufacturing is enabling smarter production, lighter aircraft, and more flexible supply chains, which could permanently reshape how drones are built and delivered.
3D printing is no longer just a prototyping tool; it is a path to full-scale, flight-ready manufacturing.
