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.
