Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our custom design, additive manufacturing, and 3D scanning services. Each project is unique, and we remain available to discuss your specific needs.
What is AMmonite Lab?
AMmonite Lab is a design and additive manufacturing studio specialized in custom ergonomic and performance-driven solutions.
We combine 3D scanning, parametric design and advanced 3D printing technologies to create objects precisely adapted to the human body and real-world use.
Do you offer custom 3D printing services?
Yes.
We develop custom 3D printed solutions for:
• Sports performance
• Workplace ergonomics
• Rehabilitation support
• Technical prototyping
Each project is engineered around real usage conditions, not just geometry.
Do you use 3D scanning?
Yes.
3D scanning is used when morphological adaptation or precise reverse engineering is required.
It allows us to design products that fit the human body or existing components with high accuracy.
Do you provide 3D scanning services for other industries?
Yes.
For projects focused purely on digital capture, reverse engineering or architectural scanning, services are provided through Scan3D Québec, our dedicated professional 3D scanning entity.
This separation ensures:
• Clear positioning
• Specialized workflows
• Industry-adapted deliverables
How does a custom project work?
A typical workflow includes:
Needs analysis
3D scanning (if required)
Parametric CAD design
Functional prototyping
Iteration and optimization
Final production
This ensures performance-driven results.
What additive manufacturing technologies do you use?
Depending on performance requirements, we use:
• FDM for functional and structural parts
• SLA / DLP for high-precision components
• SLS or Metal additive manufacturing via certified partners
Technology is selected based on function and performance.
Do you manufacture metal parts?
Yes, through specialized additive manufacturing partners when mechanical performance requires it.
What industries do you work with?
We collaborate with:
• Sports professionals
• Performance brands
• Ergonomics specialists
• Industrial companies
• Research centers
International collaborations are possible depending on the project scope.
What are typical lead times?
• Simple prototype: 3–7 days
• Fully customized project: 2–6 weeks
Timelines depend on complexity and validation cycles.
Are your devices medical certified?
AMmonite Lab develops custom functional support devices.
Unless explicitly specified, products are not regulated medical devices.
