Drone Manufacturing and UAV Validation
Freedspace provides the end-to-end hardware infrastructure for Australian drone creation and robotics. Accelerate your R&D from initial printing to sub-millimeter flight validation.
Bridging The Gap From Design to Flight.
Freedspace operates three specialised divisions to solve the unique challenges of Australian drone manufacturing.
Prototype your drone designs
We produce flight-ready airframes and internal components using high-performance composites like Carbon Fiber.Production ready parts
Deploy industrial additive solutions that deliver production-grade accuracy in hours, not months.Industry leading IMU devices
Xsens industrial-grade IMUs help UAVs stay stable, accurate, and mission-ready, by providing the high-frequency orientation and state estimation required for in-flight stabilisation.Optical tracking systems
We provide millimeter-accurate data for testing, autonomous pathing, swarm logic and validation in both indoor and outdoor environments.
From Prototyping to Batch Production.
Thinglab provides the industrial capacity to scale your drone fleet. We transition your R&D designs into localised, high-volume manufacturing without the need for expensive tooling or international shipping.
On-Demand Scalability
Scale from a single proof-of-concept to a fleet of 50+ units in weeks. Our fleet of industrial printers operates 24/7 to meet rapid deployment deadlines.
Digital Inventory
Reduce physical warehouse costs. Maintain a cloud-based library of certified drone components, ready to be printed on-site at any of our national hubs.
Functional Materials
3D print flexible components, impact-resistant mounts, and fire-retardant brackets using TPU, Tough Nylon, or UL 94-V0 Resins.

Advanced 3D Printing for Drone Creation.
Standard prototyping isn’t enough for the mission. Thinglab specialises in high-strength, low-weight composites that outperform traditional CNC-machined airframes.
Structural Carbon Fiber for heavy-lift airframes
Integrated cabling channels in 3D printed housings
Flame-retardant polymers for defense applications
Concept & Form
Verify basic geometry and industrial design. Use SLS, high-speed SLA or FDM for 2-4 hours turnover.
Functional Fit
Validate tolerances, assembly clearances, and snap-fits using SLA or SLS.
Mechanical Alpha
Stress test with materials that mimic production polymers (ABS-like, PP-like) or Nylon 12 powder.
Field Beta
Deploy end-use batches for real-world environmental testing. Zero risk of delamination.

Motion Tracking for Autonomous Systems.
Industry leading tracking solutions to capture 6-DoF data of drone and UAV movement in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Customisable and Scalable Solutions
With IMU and optical tracking options available to track high frequency orientation and 3D position.
Validation for Autonomous Systems
Track drone and UAV position and orientation with millimetre-level accuracy to confidently assess and validate autonomous movement.
Low Latency
Sub-2 ms latency enables real-time tracking, supporting autonomous flight paths and high-fidelity data capture for AI training.

Industry Leading Solutions for Advanced Precision.
Tracklab provides the ground truth for your autonomous fleet using IMU and Optical tracking solutions.
Industrial-grade IMU / AHRS / GNSS-INS
Sub-millimetre position accuracy using Optical tracking
Supports 50+ rigid bodies simultaneously

Frequently Asked Questions.
Thinglab specialises in high-performance aerospace materials, including Nylon 12 Tough Powder for rugged, weatherproof parts and TPU Powder (variable hardness) for vibration-dampening and cushioning components. Contact us for more information on our materials.
Scanlab uses metrology-grade blue laser scanners to capture propeller and airframe geometry with up to 0.02mm accuracy. This allows engineers to detect micro-warps or manufacturing deviations that cause vibration, inefficiency, or loss of lift, ensuring the physical drone matches its ‘Digital Twin’ perfectly.
Yes, that is exactly what Tracklab is built for. It uses high-speed infrared optical sensors to provide millimeter-accurate positioning in indoor labs or hangars where GPS signals are blocked or unreliable. It is the gold standard for testing indoor autonomous swarms and collision avoidance.
Absolutely. Freedspace is 100% Australian owned and operated with physical experience centers in Melbourne. We provide on-site installation, technical training for your engineering team, and local warranty support with no time-zone lag.
Yes. We work closely with defense contractors. Our systems are used in secure R&D environments across Australia to build sovereign aerial capabilities.
