Prototyping
From dreams to reality
At Catalys, we use cutting-edge technologies to offer additive manufacturing solutions tailored to the modern needs of industry. Our advantages lie in combining design and prototype manufacture in one place. This integrated approach enables seamless communication between our design engineers and manufacturing technicians, speeding up the product development process. Feedback is immediate, allowing us to quickly optimize designs and ensure a smooth transition to series production.
In electronics, we can quickly prototype your PCBs by hand assembly for small quantities or through our excellent network of suppliers for slightly larger quantities.
We currently have a dozen 3D printers and two CNC milling machines that can quickly turn your idea into reality.

3D printing technology :
FDM - Fused Deposition Modeling
(Fused Deposition Modeling)
- Maximum dimensions: 300mm(X) x 300mm(Y) x 300mm(Z)
- Features: Lower resolution, ideal for robust parts
- 3D printing materials: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), PLA (Polylactic Acid), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol), TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
- Z-resolutions: 0.100mm – 0.200mm – 0.300mm
- Advantages: Cost effective and robust parts (compared to SLA). Perfect for making functional prototypes quickly
- Disadvantage: Low resolution
SLA – Stéréolithographie
- Maximum dimensions: 145mm(X) x 145mm(Y) x 175mm(Z)
- Features: High resolution, suitable for precise parts requiring a quality finish
- 3D printing materials: Formlabs Black Resin
- Z-resolutions: 0.025mm – 0.050mm – 0.100mm
- Advantages: Excellent accuracy and surface finish. Perfect for sales models or precision parts
- Disadvantage: Higher cost and more brittle parts than FDM
