Elevate Your Drone Training with the 3D-Printed NIST Open Test Lane Kit by 3DSyrup

At 3DSyrup, we specialize in precision 3D printing — transforming technical designs into durable, professional-grade tools that help innovators and educators bring their ideas to life. One of our flagship creations, the 3D-Printed NIST Open Test Lane Kit, is designed to support drone pilot testing and training in accordance with official NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards.

Whether you’re a public safety drone pilot, drone pilot trainee, or part of a research program, this kit offers a reliable and accurate way to conduct pilot skills testing and flight proficiency evaluations.


What Is the NIST Open Test Lane Kit?

The NIST Open Test Lane is a standardized course used to evaluate drone pilot accuracy and flight control. It provides a measurable and repeatable way to assess pilot skill, precision maneuvers, and system performance.

At 3DSyrup, we’ve developed a 3D-printed version of the NIST Open Test Lane Kit, allowing instructors and organizations to quickly deploy official test lanes with lightweight, durable, and easy-to-assemble magnetic components.

You can find it directly in our shop under Products.
