Impact Test Results
Round 1Bare Frame
✕ FAILED2 / 3 survived
One structural support broke on impact 1; two more supports broke on impact 2 with the arm barely attached. Arm completely separated on impact 3. Unflyable on impact 3.
Strengths
+ Exceptional stiffness
+ Stiffer in this test than the comparable carbon frames
+ Extremely distinctive and aesthetically impressive generative design
+ Very inexpensive to print
Weaknesses
− Very poor impact durability in this test
− Thin structural supports became major failure points
− Heavy relative to the carbon frames tested
The deflection measurement is approximate because the frame geometry does not provide the same flat reference surface as the other frames.
