Print&Live and iSCALE 3D Scale Up Production of Airless UGV Wheels After Combat Testing

Ukrainian developer Print&Live UA and iSCALE 3D have completed field and combat trials of 3D printed airless wheels for unmanned ground vehicles. A full set costs about €680 versus $3,000–4,000 for comparable overseas airless wheels, weighs 32–56 kg and is already being delivered to combat units.

• A full set costs about €680 versus $3,000–4,000 for overseas airless wheels
• Set weight is 32–56 kg versus 88–144 kg for Western airless alternatives
• On a TARGAN 3K UGV: 210 km on a test range and 151 km over 11 winter missions at 0 to −15 °C
• Operating range can extend by up to 30% thanks to lower rolling resistance
