Back to original languageAbout Nicolas
A professional in 3D printing for over 8 years, I assist companies, training centers, and educational institutions in understanding and mastering additive manufacturing technologies.
I have been operating for 6 years under the entity Fumel 3D, directly involved with concrete issues of production, prototyping, and industrialization.
My expertise covers the entire 3D printing value chain: design adapted to additive manufacturing, selection of processes and materials, file preparation, machine settings, production of functional parts, and optimization of results.
This hands-on experience allows me to offer training grounded in industrial reality, focused on learner efficiency, reliability, and autonomy.
As a trainer, I favor clear, structured, and pragmatic pedagogy, suitable for both beginners and technical audiences. The goal is to transfer directly applicable skills, integrating real-world constraints of time, cost, and quality.
I provide short or long training courses, in-person or remote, covering:
3D printing / additive manufacturing
Design for 3D printing
Prototyping and functional parts
Integration of 3D printing in a professional environment
