The invention

Cut from a single sheet of polycarbonate, Origami folds along computed crease lines to form a rigid quadcopter chassis without a single fastener. It ships flat in a padded envelope and is field-assembled without tools.

Ideal for disaster-response teams that need survey drones in the field within minutes of arrival.
