Durable, weather‑resistant finishes designed for mission‑ready drones.
At Xponential 2026, Tim O’Malley from Cerakote Coatings discusses how thin‑film liquid ceramic coatings are used to enhance UAV and drone platforms displayed at the HP Additive Manufacturing booth. The video highlights how Cerakote finishes are applied to HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printed drone components to support durability, weatherability, and UV resistance in demanding operating environments.
Cerakote coatings provide long‑term reusability and color stability, helping extend the service life of drone platforms used across a range of applications. The combination of HP Additive Manufacturing and Cerakote enables consistent surface finishes while maintaining the design flexibility of 3D printing for complex geometries.
By pairing HP Multi Jet Fusion technology with Cerakote’s coating solutions, drone manufacturers can support custom finishes and rapid iteration without sacrificing performance or durability. This collaboration demonstrates how digital manufacturing workflows can deliver functional, long‑lasting, and visually consistent drone components for the UAV industry.
