Rapid prototyping, 3D printing, Fablab
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques to quickly transform researchers ideas to physical objects using computer aided machines like open-source electronics (Arduino, Raspberry), 3D printers,…
This enabled us to start new works related to our researchs topics in the field of : 3D printed meta materials, new devices for sp-ICPMS, microfluidics, SAXS sample holders, robotics,…
3D printing
We have different types of 3D printing machines (filament, photopolymerization).
Research projects are dedicated to the design of original geometries to optimized weight and mechanical resistance.
Rapid prototyping with open source electronic devices
We often couple 3D printing prototypes or microfluidic chips with open-source electronic devices to develop customized experiments.
Fablab CEA Paris Saclay
The laboratory is coordinator of the project to install a Fablab at CEA Paris-Saclay.
The fablab is installed at INSTN and have many useful equipment such as 3D-printers (FFF, stereolytography), laser cutter, arduino , raspberry,…
