Lynxter, 3D printing for industry

Having developed an additive manufacturing machine tool, the three founders of Lynxter, a company based on the Technocité park, have won one of the Réseau Entreprendre Adour awards. Their project was mentored by Brice Pryszo, director of Maxsea, a company on the Izarbel Technology Park.

Julien Duhalde, Karim Sinno and Thomas Batigne, all three graduates of the national engineering school in Tarbes, set up Lynxter in March 2016 with the idea of developing a machine tool for additive manufacturing by material deposition.

Mainly using polymers to which various other materials have been added, this machine tool named Source 600D today offers the versatility of a machine suitable for use by the general public as well as the reliability of industrial machinery.

In September 2017, the Lynxter set up on the Technocité Technology Park. Since then, it has delivered its first two machines as part of pilot projects, one to Airbus and the other to Lycée Gustave Eiffel, a high school in Bordeaux.

The machine will be on sale from 2018 and several orders are already in the pipeline, including another one from Airbus. The S600D will be marketed to laboratories, design consultancies, manufacturing workshops and schools. Young firm Lynxter is being supported by the Réseau Entreprendre Adour enterprise network and has Brice Pryszo, director of Maxsea, a firm on the Izarbel park, as its mentor. An excellent example of how the different sites of the Basque Country technology cluster can work together in synergy.
