Scientists sometimes require survey instruments that they don’t have or the substitution of specific mechanical components which over time are damaged. Without this component, the unfolding of the experiment depends on the order of a new one and its cost. Typically, these parts are simple plastic objects at a high price.

You've probably witnessed the situation described above. With a 3D printer in the lab and a researcher with training received in our workshop, you can fabricate low-cost replicas of damaged parts or even create new tools.

Research groups already freely share the designs of the hardware laboratory on sites as Thingiverse or OpenLabTools. With the technology of 3D printers, the scientific community is on the verge of a new era, provided by the low cost of scientific equipment that puts increasingly sophisticated tools in the hands of researchers..

Educational

Students from Design, Engineering, Marketing and Graphic artists can design, test and insure their prototypes and understand the aesthetic and functional appeal of a product. It is an opportunity to learn and enter the job market with a competitive advantage. Today they may be students but they are tomorrow’s teachers. 3D technology is another tool available to build a bright future.

Typically the creation of new products requires an iterative prototyping process that is now available to everyone with 3D printing technology. 3D printed concept models allow filter failures, companies test their ideas at low cost, developing just the right projects. It lets you enhance ideas and show it to colleagues, clients and potential investors in a way that a computer model could not.

The ideas can be turned into products within hours or days, enabling the product to reach the market in less time.
