CAD files repository

Here you will find 3D models of scientific devices developed by the laboratory and relating to certain publications.

We provide here development files from Fusion360 (.f3d, .f3z), as well as exported .STL files, which you are free to modify for your own needs. Don’t hesitate to quote us (that’s how science works), or contact us for any information about these projects(PI: Pilar junier, developpeur Guillaume Cailleau).

Preform (.form) print files for SLA Form 3B printers (Formlabs) are also supplied, these are the ones used for our production. These are either used with Biomed Clear V1 resin (for final use) or White for prototyping.

  • 3D Fungal highway column Junier et al., 2021

NB: this device is not the original, but an evolution to compensate for the SLA printing problems affecting filtering. This model is more robust and functional.
