Each of us is a machine of the real, each of us is a constructive machine
We are a design and prototyping studio specializing in digital fabrication. Since 2009 we work with companies, designers and creatives to transform visual ideas into real objects. Our approach combines different methods and disciplines, including humanities, design and craftsmanship.
Our story:
Vectorealism was founded in 2009 by Eleonora Ricca and Marco Bocola with the idea of creating the first fully online rapid prototyping service, aimed at both professionals and makers.
In 2013, as a startup, we won the National Award for Innovation in Services and becomes Digital Fabbrichetta srl, a point of reference in Italy in the field of prototyping with laser cutting and 3D printing.
We follow the evolution of the sector and share reflections on materials, processes and projects on our Substack, curated by Marco Bocola.
Today Vectorealism studio offers advice and support for projects high creative and innovative content, relying on a network of designers, planners, craftsmen and creative people capable of interpreting and meeting diverse and complex needs.
Our motto is make things, not slides. We approach projects with concreteness, speed of execution and attention to cost.
Areas of expertise:
For over 15 years our studio has been the point of reference for professionals and creatives for the 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.
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 at the Triennale, Palazzo Clerici, the Porta Venezia Gardens, and the Bovisa Polytechnic.
What we can do:
We manage commissioned production with 3D printing, laser cutting is CNC milling —from the first prototype to a recurring series. We work from the client's design or develop the file together.
We design and create stand elements, displays, custom objects, and limited-edition merchandise—from material consultation to delivery.
We design and conduct workshops on digital fabrication technologies—for corporate teams, design schools, and European projects.
