Our production project in France
Intimate Innovations Technologies is preparing modular micro-factories based on automated 3D printing. The goal: an agile production model with short iteration cycles and no tooling costs.
Our vision: replicable production cells able to move from single units to series on the same infrastructure.
-
Robotic cell: concept under study
We are considering a robotic arm serving several 3D printers, with connected supervision. Not deployed yet.
-
Short cycle as a goal
Goal: update production files quickly and correct parts without tooling or inventory. No lead time is guaranteed at this stage.
-
Scalability under consideration
In the longer term, each cell would be a self-contained production module: increasing capacity would mean adding a cell. No deployment timeline has been set.
-
Vertical integration strategy
Long-term goal: gradually gain control of the material supply chain, by studying in-house TPU/TPE production, to become more self-sufficient in sourcing.
-
Quality: our approach
Goal: test protocols and tracking of materials and batches in our future production line.
- Planned production site
- Saint-Martin-de-Crau (Bouches-du-Rhône), near our Arles headquarters: project under way, not operational.
