Workshop in Antibes, France
Additive manufacturing office
Your additive manufacturing engineering office on the French Riviera
An additive manufacturing engineering office designs, optimizes and produces your parts — unlike a 3D print shop that only runs a file. NC Factory is first an engineering, design and manufacturing office in Antibes: mechanical engineering (CAD, DFM), electronics, FDM/SLA/CNC and laser workshop under one roof — including our own industrialized products.

Comparison
3D printer vs additive manufacturing office
Why a B2B project goes beyond simple printing.
3D printer shop
Runs your STL file. No CAD, no DFM, no series.
Engineering office
Delivers CAD drawings. Manufacturing outsourced.
NC Factory
Designs, optimizes, manufactures, documents — integrated Antibes workshop.

Additive manufacturing office — Antibes & PACA
NC Factory, an engineering, design and manufacturing office in Antibes with additive manufacturing expertise: engineering, CAD, prototyping, small batch and comparison for Sophia-Antipolis, Nice and Monaco.
Prototypes & Series
From idea to pre-series
Engineering, CAD, DFM, electronics, prototyping and manufacturing: one partner to industrialize your product — SMEs, startups and industrial sites.
Our French workshop
Design and manufacture under one roof
A real workshop on the French Riviera: professional machines, quality control, short lead times. From one-offs to small series — Made in France, delivered across the 06 and nationwide.
24 Avenue de la Verte Pagane, 06600 Antibes
Pro machine park
FDM/SLA 3D printing, laser, CNC, electronics: technical means under one roof to move from study to manufacturing.
Quality checked
Every part is verified before shipping. Technical materials selected for real-world use (UV, mechanical, outdoor, marine).
Responsive lead times
Quote within 24h, production often in 24–48h. Rush jobs possible depending on workshop load.
Delivery & installation
Express delivery with optional installation in the Alpes-Maritimes, home or pickup point nationwide — quayside delivery for yachting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A structure combining engineering (CAD, DFM) and additive manufacturing production (3D printing). It designs and optimizes the part before manufacturing — not just printing an STL.
Yes. NC Factory is first an engineering, design and manufacturing office in Antibes — with additive manufacturing expertise: CAD/DFM, FDM/SLA, CNC, 3D scan and electronics. One contact from study to pre-series.
A print shop runs your file as-is. An additive manufacturing office analyzes requirements, picks material and process, optimizes geometry (DFM), then manufactures and iterates.
A classic engineering office delivers CAD files. We design AND manufacture: prototype tested in workshop the next day, no design/production gap.
FDM (ABS, ASA, Nylon, TPU, PETG), high-precision SLA (technical resins), complemented by CNC machining and 0.05 mm 3D scan for hybrid parts.
Yes. Antibes workshop 15 min from Sophia-Antipolis and 25 min from Nice. On-site visits, express delivery and NDA for confidential projects.
