RespondAR

RespondAR is a UAV application designed to provide geographic augmented reality (AR) overlays on live video. The overlays are superimposed on video frames and provide vectors, polygons and markers representing road and street names, areas of interest and points of interest, similar to Google Maps. Custom GIS information can be display as well using RespondAR’s KMZ Import Feature. This software provides enhanced situational awareness to Pilots in Command, Camera Operators, Incident Commanders and other mission viewers. RespondAR is designed for use by a variety of Emergency Response Personnel, including: Fire Departments, Police Departments, State and Federal Emergency Response Teams, and others.


Benefits:

Smarter Cameras: Blends geographic metadata with live video frames, producing georeferenced video.

Mission Assured: Powered by proven technology, SmartCam3D®, which is deployed with the US Army’s Unmanned Systems Program.

DJI Compatible: RespondAR is compatible with DJI hardware, giving pilots the same features they’d find in DJI Go.

Materials

Desktop Metals offers machines that use thermoplastics, PEEK and PEKK in additional to machines that print using a variety of metals.

  • PEEK + Carbon Fiber

    PEEK is characterized by exceptional mechanical properties, high resistance to surface abrasion, and is inherently flame retardant. When combined with continuous carbon fiber, the resulting composite is strong, stiff, and boasts a high fatigue level—making it great for high-wear manufacturing jigs and fixtures.

  • PEKK + Carbon Fiber

    PEKK is characterized by its high tensile and compression strength, resistance to chemical abrasion, and ability to withstand high temperatures (above 250 °C). When reinforced with carbon fiber, resulting parts are exceptionally durable and well-suited for extreme environments including high-temperature applications.

  • Ti64

    An alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium, the material properties of Ti64 – particularly its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance – make it an ideal material for a wide variety of high-performance applications.

  • Stainless Steels 17-4 & 316L

    17-4 PH is a precipitation hardening steel used in a range of industrial applications including those with mildly corrosive environments and high-strength requirements. With corrosion resistance and performance at both high and low temperatures, 316L is a fully austenitic stainless-steel ideal for harsh environments.

  • H13 Tool Steel & 4140 Steel

    H13 is an abrasion resistant, hot work tool steel with exceptional hot hardness, resistance to thermal fatigue cracking, and stability in heat treatment—an ideal metal for both hot work and cold work tooling applications. One of the most versatile steels, 4140 boasts toughness, high fatigue strength, and abrasion and impact resistance—a great all-purpose steel for industrial applications.

  • Copper & Coming Soon, Alloy 625

    Because of its electrical and thermal conductivity and ductility, Copper is ideal for electrical equipment, plumbing, and heat transfer. Alloy 625 is a nickel-based superalloy noted for its hardness and abrasion resistance as well as its performance at high temperatures. It’s suitable for the most extreme environments. 

  • Nylon 6 (PA6) + Carbon Fiber

    This Nylon 6 (PA6) with carbon fiber reinforcement is safe for operations where ESD compliance is required. With a tensile strength 30x stronger than ABS, PA6 + CF is excellent for jigs, fixtures, and end-of-arm tooling, including those used in electronics manufacturing.

  • Nylon 6 (PA6) + Fiberglass

    Fiberglass-reinforced nylon is a low-cost material which renders lightweight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant parts—a great match for sporting goods or marine applications, where parts are exposed to the elements and have a low target cost per part.

  • Production System™ Materials
