LAMÁQUINA

What LAMÁQUINA does

LAMÁQUINA is a Barcelona-headquartered, large-format robotic 3D printing manufacturer founded in 2015, operating a production facility in Zaragoza. The company deploys industrial robotic arms — including ABB 6-axis systems and Delta WASP extruders — to execute planar, non-planar, and conformal additive manufacturing across clay, bioplastics, recycled plastics, and other materials, with a maximum print envelope reaching roughly 3 metres. Its work combines computational design, custom end-effectors, and robotic toolpath generation to produce architectural elements, retail fixtures, furniture, fashion pieces, and cultural installations.

The business serves B2B enterprise clients across luxury retail (Cartier, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Pinko, Jimmy Choo), hospitality (W Hotel, Marriott), cultural institutions (Natural History Museum London, Venice Biennale), sports organisations (Real Madrid via Mahou, RC Deportivo), and infrastructure/finance (Acciona, Caixa). Revenue is generated through custom project fabrication on a quote basis, sales of own-IP products under the LMX 3D Printing Ecosystem, and training delivered through the LAMÁQUINA Academy. Since 2023 the company has operated within the Noumena Group alongside Noumena Data and PURE.TECH, and has formalised a strategic alliance with retail-fixture leader HMY Group channelling production into luxury shopfitting.

Pricing is project-driven rather than subscription-based, with no public rate cards; engagement scope is bespoke per client. Distribution is anchored by a long-standing design partnership with External Reference and an exclusive material collaboration with PURE.TECH on CO2-absorbing bioplastics. Geographic reach now extends across Spain, the United Kingdom, the UAE (Abu Dhabi, Expo 2020 legacy), Qatar, Germany, and Switzerland, signalling deliberate diversification beyond a single domestic market.

Core offering

Large-scale robotic 3D printing fabrication services for architecture, retail, hospitality, cultural, and luxury clients, producing custom components up to 3 meters in single-piece height using multi-axis industrial robots and a wide range of polymers, clay, cellulose, and recycled composites. End-to-end service spans computational design and engineering, robotic production, post-processing, and on-site assembly supervision, supplemented by a professional training Academy in Rhino/Grasshopper and robotic fabrication.

Product overview

LAMÁQUINA operates as a comprehensive 3D printing ecosystem offering large-scale robotic additive manufacturing services. The core offering combines advanced 3D printing technology (using ABB 6-axis robotic arms and Delta WASP systems) with engineering and design services powered by parametric design tools (Rhino/Grasshopper). The company specializes in multiple material technologies including polymers (PIPG, PETG, PLA), clay, technical composites, cellulose, and concrete—many containing recycled content up to 100%. The service portfolio includes end-to-end solutions from design/engineering through post-production (surface treatment, quality control, assembly, shipping). A key differentiator is the PURE.TECH partnership providing CO2-absorbing material technology. The LAMÁQUINA Academy provides professional training in robotic 3D printing. Production is decentralized with headquarters in Barcelona and satellite facilities in Zaragoza, enabling local on-demand manufacturing.
