Planeprint uses a hybrid construction method of PLA and LW-PLA (Lightweight-PLA) for the first time in this model. The Eagle was to be given a lifelike, complex shape through the outer skin and a bionic inner construction. Besides, the Golden Eagle is Tyrol's heraldic animal and can even be seen flying over the mountains of Innsbruck from time to time. René Marschall, always looking for interesting models for his flight enthusiastic community, saw the potential for a new project. When Hans-Martin Riehle contacted Planeprint to discuss the possibility of reworking the Eagle, the course was set for the Planeprint Eagle.
A good 300 hours of work went into his model before the first flight. The most difficult part was the winggrids (feathers on the wingtip), but they also contributed significantly to the model's lifelike appearance. The entire construction of the master model and the negative molds was done using conventional model-making methods and took until 2002. Still without the Internet, Hans-Martin Riehle had to make numerous studies, in nature and in zoos, to capture the eagle in pencil sketches in order to be able to represent it as true to nature as possible. The beginnings in 1998 were time-consuming and complicated. When he began planning an all-fiberglass eagle model in 1998, he had no idea that more than 20 years later, a new technology would be available that could produce a flyable eagle model that was half the weight in a very short time. Hans-Martin Riehle learned about Planeprint and saw the almost endless possibilities that lie in 3D printing for model making. 3DĬAD models can be downloaded as polygonal 3D meshes also.By a happy coincidence two modelers of the old and new generation were brought together: Hans-Martin Riehle, retired model builder and René Marschall, Planeprint mastermind and model flyer for many years. prt), PTC Creo, Siemens NX, Fusion 360, SolidEdge, CATIA, ACIS and other CAD/CAM/CAE packages. x3d).ĭownloadable 3D CAD Solid Object file formats available: The following file formats can be exported from these above programs: 3D Studio (.
