Galatea, our large-scale 3d printer was born of a will to optimally gather people, technologies, and know-how.
It was designed and built solely thanks to Sylvain’s personal funding efforts, and is the result of 2 years of research.
The name is that of an ivory sculpture made by Pygmalion, a mythological Greek sculptor. Pygmalion fell in love with his creation and asked Aphrodite to bring it to life in order to make the sculpture his wife.
Galatea is one of those artefacts you can’t help but want to give life to.
