We turn design challenges into manufacturing solutions.

At La Máquina we blend craft and technology to create a new manufacturing standard. We explore new aesthetics informed by sustainable solutions, integrating advanced manufacturing technology with programmable materials.

WHAT WE DO

In our facility, equipped with cutting-edge machines and a highly qualified team, we develop projects dedicated to big-scale additive manufacturing, achieving mass customization.  

Each piece we 3D print at LaMaquina expresses the synergy between craft and advanced fabrication. Our aim is to bridge analog and digital expertise, reshaping tradition and innovation towards a new definition of manufacturing, establishing a new aesthetic driven by sustainability, functionality, and craft. 

HOW WE DO IT

We do it in a green way, implementing solutions that promote sustainability and advanced materials. 3D printing is for us a medium to establish new ecological solutions integrating digital intelligence and numerical fabrication in order to create more performing, less polluting environments.

To do so we use PURE.TECH. the most competitive technology neutralizing greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere, cleaning the air we breath.  

La Màquina by Noumena - 3D printing and manufacturing center

PURE.TECH is an advanced polymer absorbing the main greenhouse gases polluting our atmosphere. It integrates CO2pure, a 100% natural compound, with the property to mineralize CO2, NOx, and VOCs, converting them into inert minerals. PURE.TECH is specifically designed for 3d printing fabrication. 

Our products range from PLA and TPU pellet and filaments, guaranteeing highly manufacturing performances.
