Drones / UAV’s

A new drone increases the accuracy of aerial images. An innovative weather application combines weather and lightning observation metrics with data representation. “Cool Stuff” includes a partnership for research in 3-D, digital fabrication and sustainable built environment and a new material 100 times stronger than steel.

While CAD and BIM software technology makes it easy to detect inconsistencies and clashes in the digital model during design, it is harder once construction begins. One way to capture data in the field is with unmanned aerial vehicles.
