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

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.
