FABrication additive
This technical centre brings together the main additive manufacturing technologies and offers a set of versatile means for working on small quantities of material for research, development, screening, etc.
Available processes
- Melted wire deposit (Fused Deposition Modelling, FDM, or Fused Filament Fabrication, FFF):
Open machines
– Used in prototyping, creation of small adaptation parts for multiple projects,
– tests on the ability to process different polymers and on the adhesion between two polymers during manufacture
- Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA)
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Use of a wide range of professional thermoplastic powders (PA 12, PA 11, TPU) and charged powders (glass, aluminium, carbon, etc.)
Examples of implementation
Internal mixer chamber for simulation of microwave heating (ANR MOMix)
