# Lighter Propeller — Manufacturing

Lighter Propeller develops and manufactures high-quality UAV propellers. For thirteen years, one principle has guided the workshop: understand what the customer needs — and exceed it. Every propeller is molded, trimmed and balanced in-house, from CNC-machined mold to finished edge.

Our customers fly FPV, VTOL, multirotor and fixed-wing platforms across the world. We meet many of them at international exhibitions, from Korea to Turkey, and the rest by email from our base in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Materials and test documentation are available on request.

## In-house capability

| # | Stage | Capability | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 01 | Inspection | Weighed, balanced, paired | The question behind every volume order is not whether we can build the blade — it is whether batch ten matches batch one. Every set is run on the balancing machine and matched by weight before it ships. |
| 02 | Tooling | Our own moulds | Every mould plate is cut in this building, so a custom blade needs no outside tool shop and no queue behind someone else’s order. |
| 03 | Capacity | The press line | A full row of heated presses, run in-house. Volume orders do not go out to a subcontractor and come back inconsistent. |
| 04 | Consistency | Cut by machine | Ply shapes are nested and cut on machine, so the layer geometry of the last blade in a run matches the first. |
| 05 | Finish | Surface and branding | Matte, gloss or polished — and your logo applied before the set is sleeved and packed. |

## Production process

| Step | Stage | Detail | Specification |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 01 | Mold processing | Precision CNC machining lays a flawless mold foundation. | Equipment: CNC machining centre; Tooling: Aluminium mould plate; Mould tolerance: ±0.02 mm |
| 02 | Foam core CNC | Advanced CNC shapes the propeller core with utmost care. | Equipment: CNC router; Material: Structural foam core; Shaped to: Blade spec |
| 03 | Fabric cutting | Automatic cutting ensures precise, repeatable fabric assembly. | Equipment: Automatic cutting table; Material: Carbon prepreg · S-glass; Ply tolerance: ±0.5 mm |
| 04 | Lay-up and molding | Plies are laid into the cavity by hand, then closed and cured under pressure. | Method: Hand lay-up into the cavity; Cure: Heated press, closed mould; Stacking: Fixed per blade spec |
| 05 | Trimming and surface finish | Every blade is trimmed, then polished by hand to a matte or gloss finish. | Method: CNC trim, then hand polish; Finish: Matte · gloss · polish; Branding: Your logo, before packing |

## Exhibitions

- **January 2026** — the current lineup on the stand: electric and gas fixed-wing, VTOL and multirotor, shown beside the airfoil sections and the foam-core CNC process.
- **International hall** — a larger stand on the main floor — the venue and dates still need confirming.
- **Korea** — meeting FPV and industrial drone builders at the show floor.
- **Turkey** — presenting the lineup to fixed-wing and VTOL manufacturers.
