Infill Optimized Supply Container for VTOL Drone

We designed our supply container using Solid Edge, then brought it to life with Keyshot. This no-nonsense yet remarkably effective design features rubber grip-type cushions on all four sides to prevent damage and a parachute for smooth landing. The streamlined approach may look simple, but the innovation that goes into our Fused Deposition method results in a one-of-a-kind container built to last. We've also included a scaled-up version of the container that can easily carry 30 to 40 pounds, proving our design is truly adaptable. When it comes to our supply container's inner workings, we made sure to innovate every step of the way. By varying infill percentages throughout the design, we were able to optimize and strengthen our container without relying on traditional CAD designs. The end result: a bottom layer with 80 percent infill for ultimate shock absorption. Here's how it works: 1. Gravity pulls down on the heaviest side, creating equilibrium – so no matter the winds or movements, the landing surface will remain steady. 2. By adjusting infill percentages upwards as we reach the container's upper sections (something easily achievable using Cura software and demonstrated in the accompanying MP4 file), we're able to maximize both durability and functionality. Check it out for yourself! We incorporated a couple of design innovations that further emphasize the genius of our container. 1. Interference fit screws securely fasten the lid into place – unless you employ a little creative effort using fingernails, the screw won't budge. This is the result of clever problem-solving, proving even in seemingly trivial elements lies potential for greatness. 2. You won't find compartments inside the container. Instead, we've made room for as much cargo space as possible to keep overall supply density at less than 1000 kg/m3 (matching the water density standard). The direct outcome is our load stays light – always floating and ready to retrieve in case things get complicated. Our thoughtfulness doesn't end there: 3. By ensuring a seamless interaction between cushioning on landing, and being hermetically sealed, you're covered for retrieval purposes no matter what unfolds when landing on the water surface. Plus: thanks to those soft, rubber-cushioned edges touching ground first & minimizing impact shocks! That leaves little opportunity left for accidents - afterall accidents are part of reality however sometimes they do happen but thanks god with the addition and implementation design is getting innovative Design also means easy to 3D-print - with no tricky curves. And let's talk efficiency – from start to finish, we clock in at just 18 hours (yes you can believe one single printer handles all these elements!). All in the name of efficiency our cargo stays light at under a kg and floats making it effortless in retrieving after accidents even during difficult scenarios this smartness allows pilots not only safe transport. It sits within the fuselage and gets held via rope a little higher from the flaps connected, however this connection to rope breaks at time it reaches required height, therefore spring inside works towards closing back. Inside the VTOL Drone our innovative design securely transports our package via flaps snapping in - just perfect engineering we achieved. After reaching intended spot by means of thread pulled & spring working, we get efficient storage, with minimal space – another thing that was carefully crafted to keep all functionality safe at hand - now when all lands back the entire mechanism shuts up tightly & you know how pilots feel once a supply package successfully landed it is time for next delivery flight.
