Welcome to MultiFAB platform of LAAS-CNRS

High Resolution Additive Manufacturing for Life Sciences

MultiFAB | Additive Manufacturing platform

We provide state-of-the-art high-resolution additive manufacturing equipment to bring your interdisciplinary bioengineering projects.

Open platform & Auditable pricing

A collaborative environment designed to host interdisciplinary projects at the interface of microfabrication and biology open to academic or industrial partners.

3DBioLAB room

Biosafety level 2 lab dedicated to Bio-printing, processing, and characterization of cell-laden hydrogel materials.

3DLAB room

3Dlab dedicated to additive manufacturing and characterization of photosensitive resists.



MultiFAB | Facilities

3D Bio-printing facilities

Hydrogel and cell-laden hydrogel 3D Bio-printing. Hydrogel synthesis and characterisation.

3D Printing facilities

High resolution 2D and 3D printing based on photosensitive resists.

2D Laser cutting facilities

Laser cutting technology for low tech and low cost PMMA microfluidics.

MultiFAB | Biomaterials

Photosensitive hydrogels

We develop and use various photosensitive hydrogels (GelMA, HAMA, ColMA, PEGDA, etc.) with the support of the LAAS-CNRS Micro and Nanotechnology Platform.

Photosensitive resist

We use commercial photosensitive resists (biocompatible, high-temperature, high-resolution, etc)

Material characterisation

Across the various LAAS-CNRS platforms, we offer a range of material characterization techniques to analyze mechanical properties, viscosity, porosity, and other critical parameters.
