Prototyping
An iteration in the morning, the part in your hand that week. No tooling, no minimum quantity, no machine to tie up in-house.
3D printing
for your business
Prototypes, technical parts, short runs, presentation pieces. A network of workshops across France and Belgium, a priced quote in seconds, and a proper invoice.
VAT invoice, card payment, no minimum order.
What businesses ask us for
Technical and maintenance parts
Jigs, workshop fixtures, guards, adapters, wear parts for equipment the manufacturer no longer supports.
Short runs
From a handful to a few hundred units. The network lets a run be split across several workshops when the volume calls for it.
Branded objects and displays
Stands, trophies, giveaways, models for a trade show. Made close to where the event is.
Why a network rather than a single supplier
The quote is calculated, not awaited
You drop the file, it is sliced server-side, the price appears. No sales back-and-forth just to get a ballpark.
Several workshops, one counterpart
You compare prices from several printers on the same page, nearest first, and you contract with Dimap.
Proximity cuts the lead time
A workshop in your area means a short haul — and the option to collect the part yourself when it's urgent.
Invoicing in order
Invoice issued with VAT and all mandatory details, usable in your accounts. Professional sellers in the network are identified by their SIREN number.
Your files don't circulate
A file sent for a quote is not published: only the chosen workshop can reach it, and only for that order. Confidentiality is the default state, not something to ask for.
Everything is traced
Every part keeps the record of what was produced, by whom, and from which version of the file. Enough to make it again, identically, in two years.
Technical materials, not just PLA
Nine materials in the catalogue, several of which hold up under real constraints. What follows is not exhaustive — it is what businesses ask us for most.
Mechanical strength
PC for impact and temperature, PA (Nylon) for wear and friction — gears, hinges, parts that work.
Outdoor durability
ASA resists UV and weather without yellowing. It is the material for parts that stay outside.
Chemicals and flexing
PP takes repeated bending and most chemicals: trays, containers, living hinges.
Weight saving
LW-PLA foams as it extrudes and cuts the mass of a bulky part, at unchanged size.
Your own network of workshops
This is the piece that changes what the platform is for a business: instead of picking from the open network order after order, you build YOUR panel of qualified workshops — and send your parts only to them.
You choose who produces
You build your panel from the Dimap network, or bring your own suppliers into it. Your orders only go to the workshops you selected.
Your criteria, not ours
Certification, materials, capacity, lead time, distance: the allocation rules are yours. You rate workshops on what matters to you — scrap rate, punctuality, disputes.
A safety net
If no workshop in your panel can produce — holidays, breakdown, country not covered — you can always add a new printer to your panel, or delegate to the Dimap certified sub-network. A part never waits on a schedule.
One single invoice
Ten workshops, one counterpart, one payment, one set of books. That is the work you no longer do: payment, tracking, disputes, traceability, multi-country.
Coming soon
The business workspace is on its way
We are building the business workspace: team members and access rights, a shared file space with an access log, a confidentiality undertaking signed by the workshop before it receives anything, recurring orders and restocking, orders directed to a pre-selected workshop, negotiated rates, and the setup of your own network of workshops. In the meantime everything described above already works with a standard account, and your orders are invoiced normally.

What we don't do yet
Better said before you waste time.
- Fused filament only — nine materials, from PLA to the technical ones (ASA, PA, PC, PP). No resin, no powder sintering, no metal.
- No material certification and no dimensional inspection report: we are not a qualified supplier for aerospace or medical work.
- Delivery and invoicing in France and Belgium only.
- No multi-user account or purchase-order workflow yet.
Frequently asked questions
Do we get an invoice we can put through the books?
Yes. Every order produces an invoice with VAT and all mandatory details. Professional sellers in the network are identified by their SIREN number, checked against the national business register.
What volume can you absorb?
From a single part to a few hundred units. Beyond what one workshop can produce in the time you need, a run can be split across several printers in the network — write to us to arrange that.
Do our files stay confidential?
A file sent for a quote is only reachable by the chosen printer, for the purposes of that order, and is never published to the catalogue. If your project requires a signed NDA, write to us before uploading anything.
Do you offer technical materials?
Yes: beyond PLA and PETG, the catalogue covers ABS, ASA (UV and outdoor durability), PA (Nylon) (wear and friction), PC (impact and temperature), PP (flexing and chemical resistance), flexible TPU and lightweight LW-PLA. We do not, however, supply material certificates or dimensional inspection reports, and we are not qualified for aerospace or medical parts.
What lead times can you hold?
There is no single lead time: every workshop has its own queue and its own habits, and the lead time is confirmed with the printer you retain — in the order's messaging, before as well as after validation. Say so in your first message if the part is urgent: proximity helps a great deal, and collection in person in your area removes transport entirely.
