Eric Haddad is the founder and Pilot in Command of, a Texas-based outfit specializing in 3D printed RC aircraft. Some are traditional, some are experimental, all show what the future holds for RC aeronautic design.3D printing is no stranger to prop-powered aircraft, with many an STL file available for various types and styles of drones, racers, copters, and planes. However, with his background in design, manufacturing, and RC aircraft, Eric is planning to bring a unique angle to the RC aircraft hobby, making it and 3D printing much more accessible, with 3DAeroventures.He spun up the venture a year ago out of a passion that grew from childhood, making and flying model airplanes with his father. Through the years of school and industry, helping others to realize products in manufacturing, and his experience with 3D modeling and 3D printing, his passion grew even stronger.I had the honor of speaking with Eric to find out what inspired his interest, how SOLIDWORKS helps with the 3D printed RC aircraft designs, and what he’ll be rolling out to the tarmac with 3DAeroventures.SolidSmack: What inspired your interest in design and manufacturing?Eric Haddad: I was always kind of a builder as a kid. I started making planes with my dad when I was 12 so building has always been something I’m into.
I made model planes or remote control airplanes, back then, from balsa wood kits. My dad did most of the building, I would help a little, but he’d do a lot of building, then I would fly them. We’d go every Sunday and he was super supportive of the hobbies my two brothers and I had. I did the first 3DAeroventures video with my son. I’m excited to support him and help however I can like my dad was for me.I’ve kept a balance between the analytical and creative way of thinking, so after going into product development, I got my master’s degree in manufacturing engineering with a minor in art design. I did a lot of artistic design projects in CAD then got a job at James Avery jewelry company in product development. During that time I had side jobs doing product development work with small businesses.
Since 2015, I’ve been full time helping startups and small business with product development and started 3DAeroventures last year, diving back into my passion for RC airplanes.SS: Were you always detail-oriented? Did jewelry design nurture that?EH: James Avery changed me big time.

Carefully pull a Jenga block out of the tower and place it on top. It's easy at first, but as more blocks get pulled, the Jenga tower starts to get unsteady.
I never thought I’d go into the jewelry industry, but that company is surprisingly high tech. It was a cool mix of technology and art. They were completely vertically integrated, so they do everything from concept design all the way to owning their own retail stores – they would even build their own furniture for the retail stores. Their goal was to make 10,000 pieces a year all with a handmade look. You always had to have an eye for detail.
I was in product development, so we pulled the new designs from concept and transitioned them to manufacturing. Oftentimes, designers would hand us exactly what they want but it might not be manufacturable, so we had to maintain the original intent including as much detail as possible.SS: So you kept up with your hobby on the side and progressed into 3DAeroventures?EH: Exactly. I would get busy but always had a plane that was flyable to take out and get in the air. The technology has changed so much since I was a kid. Today, you can buy a ready-to-go foam plane with really light electronics and a really powerful motor. Then I saw 3D printing planes was a possibility, with other companies selling STL files to print your own planes.
With my design background and CAD experience, I knew how to create my own designs, so thought I’d dive into designing my own planes. It really kickstarted my passion again for the hobby, so I have a lot of energy to put into this. 3D printed parts for the 3DAeroventures ‘Infinity Wing’ RC aircraft.SS: Do you do all the design concept in SOLIDWORKS?EH: Yeah. Everything’s done in SOLIDWORKS desktop and I’ve dabbled a little on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, using xShape for some of the concept work or, at least, getting an external shell for the more organic features. It’s all been great software for doing this sort of thing, from tip to tail and internal structure. Complete 3DAeroventures ‘Infinity Wing’ 3D printed RC aircraft.SS: Do you take a top-down assembly approach or bottom-up approach?EH: It may seem odd, I don’t talk to a lot of people doing it, but I tend to use Multibody part approach instead of assembling single parts bottom-up.
I just think it’s faster than trying to do it all in an assembly. Plus, I can 3D print it as one part or split out those parts so they can be printed on just your standard desktop 3D printer. Drawing view of Eric Haddad’s ‘Infinity Wing’ 3D printed RC aircraft.SS: What benefit has SOLIDWORKS provided in your build process? Challenges it helped solved?EH: The planes are assembled on-screen before I even print a part, so it’s all figured out digitally before I spend time building the parts. Everything just fits together perfectly once they come off the printer.
I’m not doing a lot of experimenting on the build side since I know it’s going to go together perfectly. It definitely saves time there. I’ve used a ton of CAD software and SOLIDWORKS is just the most user-friendly and has the most intuitive features too.
I use a lot of surfacing for the organic forms and it has the perfect blend of complex surfacing capability and parametric mechanical design.SS: Do you have a favorite style of aircraft or one you would like to design?EH: I like older propeller-driven airplanes versus jets or super futuristic stuff, but know a lot of people into that, so I might dive into doing some ducted fan military-style jets. But, yeah, I really like the golden age of aircraft — the World War II airplanes – they had a lot of character.
I’m really into aerobatics and the aerobatic airplanes, so will start with that.

3D printed Spitfire - Body.First of all download the STL files from this.Once you've downloaded the.zip file extract it in one of your folders. Inside you will find two subfolders. One is the recommended one with the full parts.
The other one, not recommended, has the same parts but sliced in to smaller parts to print them in smaller amounts of time. Printing the full parts means less glueing later.You can download the.stl files hereNow that you have all the STL files you should start printing them one by one. If you own a very good printer you could print them in packs of two or more files at a time. I own a and sometimes it fails and I lose the entire print, that's why I print them one by one in case the printer fails. I use to edit my files and to auto crrect them and make them wather sealed. Once the files are ready I create a file using with.
I also print them directly from the Repetier software.Don't glue anything till you print all the files. Once you have all the files download the plane construction and print them on a paper sheet or just have them in front of you on a PC to guide you while glueing. Start with the middle body parts. Glue together the parts 3, 4 and 1.
I glue them using strong super glue first and applying one or two layers of flexible plastic model glue. Don't glue the nose tip yet (part 2) because there is where we have to screw in place the brushless motor.
Now glue together parts 5 and 6. That will be a separate part that we will be able to remove whenever we whant and be able to work inside of the plane. Glue the wings separately.
Join togheter part 9 with 8 and 13 with 12. Before you add part 7 and 11 you have to put in place the controls 16. First glue together the two partso of the controls (part 16). As hinges I've used plastic form a yogurt case because is flexible and strong. Cut two 1cm wide yogurt plastic stripes and glue them inside of the control holes.Now we can glue the controls on each wing. Once it dries make sure that they can move without problems.
Finnaly we glue the last part of the wings (part 7 and 11) and the wings are ready. Leave about 1m or 2mm between the airlerons and the wing.Now we have to do the same for the tail.
Glue the controls first. Add the hinges and glue them in place on the tail as shown in the Spitfire plane plans. Now we can glue the tail at the middle body. To glue the wings we first add two wood sticks to each wing. This stick are some normal barbeque sticks taht you could buy in any supermarket. You can see that the part 9 and 13 of the wings have two holes in it. Glue the sticks inside that hols leaving about 2cm outside.
Now glue thw wings in place with a lot of glue.Finnaly we screw in place the 22 11 brushless motor and solder the ESC to it. We also solder a Li-Po battery connector to the esc. We put inside of the plane nose the esc and glue the nose tip (part 2) to the plane. Now our plane body is ready.In the next part of the tutorial we will see how to create our radio controller and finnaly install all the electronics inside the plane and make it fly.
If you ahve any question just ask in my.
