Facilities

The institute provides a network of facilities and resources that allow each student, researcher, teacher to develop, experiment and build their project

Confluence offers its students four manufacturing laboratories: rapid prototyping, robotics, electronics, and machining.

Each laboratory allows a quick return between conception and realization.

1/ RAPIDE PROTOTYPING

This lab allows students to quickly test and produce their digital models with precision.

Laser Cut: cut and engrave materials (wood, polymer, metal, textile, paper, ceramic, composite, glass …)

3D printing: additive manufacturing process. Zortrax / Makerbot Replicator 2/ Ultimaker /Makerbot 2X (two matérials) 

2/ ROBOTIC

This laboratory allows the student to experiment, with great freedom, form, materials, and programming.

Robot 6 axes: Kuka Agilus

3/ ELECTRONIC

This lab allows students to explore the possibilities of interaction and programming in architecture.

Arduino, Raspberry, Kinect etc…

4/ MACHINING

This laboratory explores industrial, digital and manual, manufacturing techniques on a small scale.

CNC, digital milling, subtractive material manufacturing process (wood, polymer, metal, ceramic, composite, glass)
A wood workshop, manual and portable tools needed for any type of production on wood and metals.

5/ MEDIAS

Laboratory dedicated to the image and its new forms of expression: virtual reality, projection, video mapping, and immersive environment.
