The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is a program from French software company Dassault Systèmes that provides technical equipment and software for startup companies and individuals. It functions as a startup incubator for early-state companies and as a digital fabrication laboratory (fab labs) for individuals such as students, researchers, and other makers.
There are six Labs with locations in Paris, France; Boston, Massachusetts; Pune, India; Munich, Germany; São José dos Campos, Brazil; and Shanghai, China, as of 2026.
Operations
The 3DEXPERIENCE Lab is a program from the French software company Dassault Systèmes.[1] Labs function as part startup incubators, part digital fabrication laboratory (fab labs).[2]
Frédéric Vacher is the founder and head of innovation of 3DEXPERIENCE Lab, as of 2026.[1][3] It had six Labs as of 2026, in Paris, France; Boston, Massachusetts; Pune, India; Munich, Germany; São José dos Campos, Brazil; and Shanghai, China.[1][4]
The facilities are designed for startup companies to develop their ideas or products in a two-year program.[5] The digital fabrication aspect of the Labs are open to entrepreneurs, students, researchers and other individuals.[6]
Each hub allows these participants to access a physical space with fabrication, virtual twin, and data labs. It also provides access to Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, technical equipment and mentoring.[5] Participants of the Labs have used it for robotic additive manufacturing systems, a system for organ 3D printing for use in surgical prep, open-source drones, and virtual reality.[6]
History
The first 3DEXPERIENCE Lab opened at Dassault Systèmes's campus in Paris, France, in November 2015.[5] In May 2017, another Lab was opened at Dassault Systèmes's campus in Boston, which included a fab lab created with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[6]
In September 2018, Dassault Systèmes launched another Lab in Pune, India. After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Labs were used by participants to design ventilators and other medical equipment with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform.[7] The fourth 3DEXPERIENCE Lab opened in Munich, Germany, in October 2022.[5]
