Just Do it Lab (JDL)@KAIST is a research institute equipped with a platform for commercialization based on convergence technology. It is an Open Lab that works closely with domestic and overseas research institutes, companies, investment institutes, legal consulting agencies, and global start-ups for commercialization.
Researchers and students associated with JDL@KAIST can come to establish themselves as Global Start-up Entrepreneurs even after their graduation and departure from the lab by advancing projects connected with business during the pursuit of their college research degree, utilizing the JDL@KAIST’s Global Start-up Platform as a leverage.
This conceptual video, titled "Future of the drone manufacturing: 2D sheet to 3D structure," visualizes our core research philosophy of achieving rapid and robust manufacturing. To enable on-demand, decentralized production regardless of location, we are integrating 3D printing technology with folding-inspired deployable architectures. By rapidly printing a planar 2D sheet that systematically expands into a functional 3D aerodynamic structure, we aim to pioneer a highly efficient and scalable manufacturing paradigm for next-generation drones.
