At Skaza, we successfully developed a new material as part of a recent R&D project for a client. The material significantly improves the mechanical performance of plastic components used in the injection moulding process for high-performance drones.

The core challenge was achieving the right balance between **stiffness** and **toughness**. While the client’s existing material provided sufficient stiffness—enabling the drone to operate effectively at full load and speeds of up to 130 km/h—it proved too brittle in practice. Unexpected mechanical stress (such as accidental drops or improper take-offs) often caused cracking due to low impact resistance. Damage most frequently occurred at the structurally most exposed part of the drone: the junction between the arm and the main body.

Close collaboration with the client was essential. It allowed us to test each material iteration under real-world conditions and ultimately develop a solution that is flexible enough to absorb impact, while maintaining the high performance required of the final product.

“What makes this especially important is that this was the **first material developed entirely in-house**. The ability to create our own material formulations tailored to specific applications is a strategic direction we are strongly pursuing, and it marks another key step toward full vertical integration of Skaza’s production processes,” explains **Dr. Urban Feguš**, Director of Strategic Development and Innovation at Skaza.

**Comprehensive Support in Developing Innovative, Sustainable Solutions**

This project represents a **strategic milestone** for Skaza. It laid the foundation for the development of in-house material formulations for injection moulding, which can be rapidly adapted to the specific needs of our partners. Internal material development is a key differentiator, enabling faster response to market demands and the co-creation of custom solutions with our industrial clients.

At Skaza, we offer end-to-end support in every phase of material development:

- Formulation development based on functional and mechanical requirements,
- Validation and testing under real-world conditions,
- Series production of new materials (up to 400 tons/year),
- Serial manufacturing of products from new materials using modern injection moulding lines,
- Technical support for product upgrades with improved functionality or reduced environmental impact.

The new material developed for the high-performance drone has proven, in practice, that Skaza can quickly design, test, and scale production of solutions that perform reliably under real conditions. Our **in-house compounding line** enables us to create materials that are precisely tailored to the technical demands of modern industry.
