We are a studio specializing in digital fabrication in Milan. Since 2009, we have been researching innovative methods to transform visual ideas into real objects
Service culture, at every scale
Our practice has always been service-oriented; we treat small models and large, multi-year projects alike.
Dasein ist Design
We believe in a design that reshapes our presence in the world. We are committed to achieving socially impactful goals through local and international action.
Innovation and sharing
In our Milan laboratory, we research materials, test processes, and develop custom solutions. Every non-standard project is a research opportunity that will benefit the next project.
Technology and Work
We love technology and machinery, but even more so the Work. We make our skills and dedication available to businesses, designers and artists.
Digital manufacturing
For more than 15 years, our firm has been a benchmark for additive manufacturing (3d printing), the technologies of laser cutting is CNC milling, the digital transformation of the processes of prototyping In the design and fashion industries.
Our platform was the first in Italy to offer the service of online laser cutting, winning the National Award for Innovation in Services. We have in-house technologies and materials for rapid prototyping, model making, and limited-edition production.
We research and select innovative materials and production solutions together with our customers.
- Case study
Matched is an innovative application developed by Cosnova Innovation Lab for comparing cosmetic products. Cosnova laboratories in Germany analyze over 10,000 products from more than 100 brands each year, using artificial intelligence to identify the best alternatives available on the market. This complex analysis and cataloging process required the production of custom-built equipment to support the process, entirely manufactured in our laboratory. laser cutting in Milan. Among them, we deal annually with the production of batches of stencil Made of ultra-thin and durable material.
Design and training
We integrate expertise from different disciplines (humanities, design thinking, music production) to create new formats in collaboration with artists, brand is cultural institutions.
We have set up temporary laboratories and workshops a Triennale, Palazzo Clerici, Giardini di Porta Venezia, Politecnico Bovisa.
- Case study
The brand Karl Lagerfeld combines in an iconic aesthetic Parisian classics and attitude rock-chic. In agreement with the headquarters of the Dutch group, we have worked to integrate into selected promotional events a session of live customization with laser engraving. Together with the marketing department, we studied how to intervene on some iconic items, such as the Icon K bag, and how to set up customization corners with a laser engraving machine set up especially for the event.
