Luxury goods & Watchmaking
DISCOVER THE COMBINATION OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND ARTISANAL KNOW-HOW FOR LUXURY
Our ambition: make the wildest dreams of creators come true through customised, exclusive productions that are original and unique.
COMBINING HIGH TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNICAL SKILLS
For over 30 years, Initial has created original pieces for its 150 customers from sectors such as luxury goods, design, art and architecture, through customised, exclusive and unique creations.
Unrivalled know-how in additive manufacturing.
A UNIQUE POSITIONING ON THE LUXURY MARKET
We meet the specific needs of creators, who benefit from our in-house expertise:
- Deliver an industrial solution at the highest level of quality.
- Provide a comprehensive panel of technologies able to meet the requirements of productivity and reliability.
- Propose solutions for product design, engineering and consulting.
- Propose solutions for manufacture, back-up and load-balancing.
Our team can advise, research and develop exclusive solutions, and produce your objects. The objects are then produced using our machinery using multiple materials and an array of technologies. The final finishes are also completed in our workshops.
Through the development of new materials and the soaring capacities of 3D printers, you can now benefit from systems offering production quality and production costs to rival or complement traditional methods.
3D printing in the luxury sector enables totally original customisation of your products.
We use our high-precision 3D scanners to capture the geometry of your objects and to transform them into 3D files.
Our technical expertise is an authentic catalyst that opens the floodgates of creativity and artistic expression, enabling the exploration of multiple perspectives and revealing the full potential of your project.
We create the “memory” of a form to preserve your creations, create a data bank, reprint old parts, or duplicate to produce models at different scales for subsequent 3D printing.
Our teams of painters and model makers combine traditional craftsmanship with industrial processes to enhance each creation. You benefit from a finish that meets your highest aesthetic standards:
- Manual polishing or tribofinishing for perfect, uniform surfaces.
- Painting, staining, and varnishing to explore exclusive and refined visual effects.
- Texturing to adjust roughness, reveal details, or give a unique material appearance.
- Assembly and retouching to ensure that each piece is flawless.
Thanks to this integrated workshop, Initial ensures total control of the value chain, from engineering and additive manufacturing to finishing. We are a partner capable of combining productivity, reliability, and high-end rendering with the flexibility required for exclusive or small-batch production.
