# ME3Design — Additive Manufacturing & Computational Engineering

> ME3Design is an advanced additive manufacturing startup based in Italy. Integrating proprietary automation tools—including the SONAR engine for OrcaSlicer—and computational engineering pipelines, ME3Design delivers rapid prototyping and serial production worldwide.

## Core Capabilities & Services

- **Proprietary Automation Engine (SONAR)**: Automated OrcaSlicer integration for additive manufacturing workflows. Automatically cross-references part geometry, mechanical requirements, and machine constraints in real time, speeds up quoting, and ensures superior first-pass print quality.
- **Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)**: Support-free industrial 3D printing in isotropic Nylon PA12 for functional end-use parts, complex internal channels, and robust mechanical assemblies.
- **MSLA 8K Resin 3D Printing**: Ultra-high-resolution 25-micron layer printing for master casting patterns, fluidic prototypes, and micro-detailed assemblies.
- **Industrial FDM / FFF**: High-temperature composite extrusion (Carbon Fiber Nylon PA-CF, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA) for lightweight enclosures and structural brackets.
- **3D Scanning & Metrology**: High-precision optical and laser digitisation paired with parametric CAD reverse engineering and dimensional inspection.
- **Computational & Generative Design**: Algorithmic topology optimization, lattice infill synthesis, and Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM).

## Technical Specifications & Standards

- **Dimensional Tolerances**: Precision engineering standards (±0.05 mm to ±0.1 mm, geometry dependent).
- **Quote Turnaround**: Rapid automated intake and analysis.
- **Production Scope**: Functional prototyping to low-volume serial manufacturing.
- **Supported File Formats**: STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, 3MF, IGES.
