Handddle, a French startup specializing in 3D printing production lines, often called 3D printer farms in the wider industry, has renewed its ongoing collaboration with the French Air and Space Force.
The aim is to expand French forces’ ability to deal with unforeseen circumstances and quickly adapt to new situations on the ground. This collaboration marks part of the firm’s continued efforts to support the growth of Additive Manufacturing within the defense sector, and meet the French military’s growing production needs. Having installed the first of its Smart Farm micro factories within the French Air and Space Force’s National 3D Printing Pole (PNI3D) last year, the startup is now set to add two new installations. These micro factories offer optimal conditions for 3D printing, and include software that enables full control over the printer fleet in real time. These facilities purportedly enable the production of complex custom parts in record times, allowing military organizations to meet production targets, and quickly produce components that follow strict quality, safety and conformity restrictions. “With the possibilities offered by our platform during production phases, we can help them automate workflow tasks related to the management and security of production environments, allowing soldiers to focus on their main mission,” commented Handddle co-founder Dylan Taleb.
