3DR, also known as 3D Robotics, is an American company located in Berkeley, California that produces enterprise drone software for construction, engineering and mining firms, as well as government agencies.[1][2]
Prior to 2016, the company designed and marketed commercial and recreational unmanned aerial vehicles including consumer drones, ready-to-fly quadcopters for aerial photography and mapping, and fixed-wing UAVs based on the Ardupilot platform. However, as of September 2016, 3DR and the major open source Ardupilot development community separated due to disagreements over the license of the open source code on which 3DR products are based.[3]
The company was co-founded as 3D Robotics in 2009 by Chris Anderson and Jordi Muñoz.[4] The pair met online through the DIY Drones community, which Anderson originally started for aerial vehicle enthusiasts.[5]
