When standard solutions fall short, we design differently

AMmonite Lab supports organizations and professionals who need to adapt an object, a tool, an interface or equipment to a real-world constraint.

We start from what already exists to design a custom solution, test it quickly, then refine it before integration or small-series production.

Human-centered. Ergonomics, comfort, efficiency.

AMmonite Lab is a studio specialized in scan-to-design and functional prototyping. We turn field constraints into testable, adapted and repeatable physical solutions for industry, workshops and specialized environments.

Our method is built on three pillars: 3D scanning, digital design and additive manufacturing. We analyze what already exists, design a custom solution, then produce functional prototypes or small-series final parts.

We support organizations and professionals who need to adapt an object, a tool or an interface, especially in manufacturing, healthcare, rehabilitation and technical aids.

Our Solutions

Manufacturing Sector

For production, operations, continuous improvement and engineering teams that need to solve a concrete problem related to a workstation, a tool, a part or an interface.

AMmonite Lab starts from real field conditions to design testable physical solutions: jigs, supports, fixtures, ergonomic adaptations, modified parts, functional prototypes or small series.

What this makes possible:

  • Solve a constraint that slows down, interferes with or complicates the work
  • Improve comfort, efficiency and task repeatability
  • Replace improvised adjustments with a better-adapted solution
  • Quickly validate a solution before fabrication or implementation
  • Reduce rework, wasted time and unnecessary costs

Health, Rehabilitation and Sport

For healthcare professionals, rehabilitation clinics, orthopedic clinics and sport environments that need to turn an assessment, recommendation or functional constraint into a physical adaptation.

AMmonite Lab builds on their expertise to materialize testable solutions: technical aids, custom supports, adapted interfaces, handles, rests, custom components or functional prototypes.

What this makes possible:

  • Turn a recommendation into a concrete physical solution
  • Adapt a solution to a person, morphology, movement or posture
  • Support testing, adjustment and iteration with the professionals involved
  • Improve comfort, handling or interaction with equipment
  • Quickly validate an adaptation before production or integration
  • Create custom solutions when standard products are not enough

Why choose us?

Context analysis: every project starts with the use case, movement, task and field constraints.

Scan-to-design: 3D scanning and digital design make it possible to start from what already exists to create better-adjusted solutions.

Fabrication: ideas are turned into functional prototypes or small-series final parts, depending on the project’s level of maturity.

Reducing rework and scrap: starting from existing geometry helps reduce approximations, limit costly adjustments and secure implementation.

Concrete support: from needs analysis to real-world integration, with an approach focused on use, quality and continuous improvement.

From real-world needs to practical solutions, step by step

1

Understand the real-world need

Clarify the goal, use case, field constraints, existing part, or problem to solve.

2

Assess what already exists

Use 3D scanning, measurements, photos, or field observation to document the part, environment, or usage context.

3

Design a practical solution

Create or adapt the model through reverse engineering, functional design, ergonomic improvement, or technical optimization.

4

Prototype or manufacture

Select the right process and produce a first usable version for testing or implementation.

5

Test, adjust, and deliver

Validate the solution in real conditions, refine the details, and deliver a functional result.

We step in when standard solutions are not enough

  • Adapt a tool, handle or interface to a specific use case
  • Design a jig, support or mounting fixture to make a task easier
  • Modify an existing part from a 3D scan
  • Quickly prototype a solution before fabrication
  • Produce a small series of functional parts
  • Improve the ergonomics of a workstation, equipment or object
  • Create a physical adaptation for a rehabilitation or technical aid context
