Mohamad al-Bared used technology at Coventry home to make drone designed to deliver a warhead or chemical weapon for IS
A Birmingham University PhD student has been found guilty of using a 3D printer at home to build a “kamikaze” drone designed to deliver an explosive warhead or chemical weapon for Islamic State (IS) terrorists.
Mechanical engineering graduate Mohamad al-Bared, 27, was found guilty of using a 3D printer to make the drone at his Coventry home while sending weekly updates to IS.
After a five-week trial at Birmingham crown court, he was convicted of a single count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts to benefit a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Bared was remanded in custody and told he could face a life term when he is sentenced on 27 November.
While this thing is stupid, you can actually print a lot of components when using foaming filaments. You’ll have strong and super light parts.
oh no… foaming filaments!?! I have not heard of these and I can hear my wallet crying out from the other room.
Tom Stanton has a nice video on how he used the foaming pla to make wings for his RC osprey.
Yeah, there’s PLA https://www.3djake.uk/colorfabb/lw-pla-natural and TPU as well. You can control density with temperature. Incredible stuff!
