Choosing the right material for the right application
We select the polymer suited to your use. No more PLA breaking in the sun — enter the world of professional technical materials.
| Material | UV Resistance | Mechanical | Temperature | Ideal use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA+ | LOW | GOOD | 60°C | Rapid prototyping, models, decorative parts. Biodegradable. |
| PETG | GOOD | GOOD | 75°C | Versatile functional parts, enclosures, light indoor/outdoor use. |
| ABS | MEDIUM | GOOD | 95°C | Mechanical parts, industrial prototyping, impact resistant. |
| ASA | EXCELLENT | GOOD | 95°C | Exterior parts, automotive, marine. Best UV resistance. |
| Nylon PA6 | MEDIUM | EXTREME | 120°C+ | Gears, hinges, high-wear mechanical parts. |
| TPU 95A | EXCELLENT | FLEXIBLE | 80°C | Gaskets, bumpers, screen protectors, bushings, dampers. |
| Carbon PETG | GOOD | RIGID | 80°C | Light structural parts, premium carbon finish. |

FDM & SLA: two complementary technologies
FDM Printing
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology is ideal for functional parts, rapid prototyping and series production. Wide range of technical materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, flexible TPU, carbon composites.
- Parts up to 350x350x400mm
- Layer resolution 0.1 to 0.3mm
- Multi-material and multi-color
- Optimal quality/price ratio
SLA Printing (Resin)
Stereolithography (SLA) offers exceptional precision through UV curing of liquid resins. Perfect for highly detailed parts, jewelry, medical and casting molds.
- Resolution down to 0.025mm (25 microns)
- Smooth, near-injection finish
- Standard, flexible, high-temperature resins
- Ideal for precision prototyping
Integrated 3D scan
Complex part with no file? We scan it
Our 3D scanner (0.05 mm) captures the real geometry of your part — intact, broken or onboard a yacht. We deliver a STEP/STL file or manufacture directly by 3D printing and CNC machining.
Reverse engineering
Out-of-catalogue parts, defunct manufacturers, fragments to reconstruct.
On-site service
Dockside (Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco) or at client premises.
Full chain
Scan → CAD modeling → 3D printing or CNC in the same workshop.
A complete service: installation & maintenance
We don't stop at manufacturing. In addition to delivery, NC Factory offers on-site installation and maintenance services in the Alpes-Maritimes to ensure the longevity of your parts.
On-site installation
We come to you to install your parts directly on-site: fitting, adjustment, functional testing. Operational results guaranteed from the very first visit.
Preventive maintenance
Regular inspections, proactive replacement of wear parts, adjustments. We keep your equipment in optimal condition to avoid unexpected downtime.
Express replacement
A broken part? Thanks to our digital archiving of every production, we relaunch manufacturing identically and intervene quickly — without redoing the technical study.
Alpes-Maritimes coverage
Installation and maintenance throughout the 06 department: Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Sophia-Antipolis, Grasse, Mandelieu, Théoule-sur-Mer and all municipalities.
