The Bionic Propeller is an innovative component designed to increase thrust performance by 19% and reduce noise emissions by 30%.

The BigRep ONE comes into its own to precision-manufactures large, complex, research-driven industrial designs like this. The Bionic Propeller design incorporates two principles inspired by nature. Both of these bionic principles work in water and air so the design could be adapted for various applications.

3D prints of parts like this can be used as patterns for metal casting, reducing costs and lead times and allowing for greater complexity to be integrated into industrial production.
