Generality
Additive fabrication is an innovant fabrication process allows making quickly customized and personalized products.
There is a wide variety of additive manufacturing processes.
Fused deposition modeling process – FDM
FDM is a widely used manufacturing process in the world of additive manufacturing. It consists in extruding a molten material by a nozzle which moves in two dimensions above a platform to form a layer of material. Once the layer is finished the platform moves on a third dimension so that the nozzle can deposit a new layer of material.
We use customized Ultimaker 2 3D printers for FDM manufacturing process.

Photosensible resin process – DLP
Digital light processing (DLP) is a similar process to stereolithography.
A videoprojector is used to cure a surface of photopolymer resin.
The ability to use calcinable’s resin offers the perfect choice for dental or jewelry applications.
