Interview with Antoine Soullard, Manager of eMotion Tech.
What are the main areas of activity of the company?
Antoine Soullard: eMotion Tech operates in three key areas:
- The design and manufacturing of professional 3D printers for production, prototyping and technical education.
- The distribution of consumables and accessories.
- Technical support and training to help companies efficiently integrate additive manufacturing into their processes.
What’s the news about new products/services?
A.S: In 2025, we are focusing on the industrial reliability and intelligent connectivity of our machines.
We are therefore introducing a new FFF/FDM system with the following features:
- External dimensions: height 850 mm, width 950 mm, depth 720 mm
- Build volume: height 500 mm, width 600 mm, depth 420 mm
- Print surface: interchangeable magnetic borosilicate glass bed
- Print speed: up to 80 mm/s
- Layer thickness: from 100 μm
- Controlled temperatures: extrusion up to 500°C, heated bed up to 140°C, chamber up to 70°C
- Compatible materials: ABS, ABS ESD, ACETATE, ASA-X, BVOH, COPA, HIPS, PA6-CF, PA6-GF, PC, PC-ABS (ul94-V0), PEKK, PETG, PETG ESD, PLA, PVA, TPU98
What are the ranges of products/services?
A.S: We currently offer two main ranges of eMotion Tech professional 3D printers, designed for production and R&D environments, combining precision, durability and ease of use.
DUAL600: A system equipped with a dual-head tool for printing large-volume parts with the ability to use support material.
IDEX420: A system equipped with two independent tools capable of producing two parts in parallel (either in duplication or mirror mode), as well as creating dual-material parts for greater workflow flexibility.
eMotion Tech also provides on-site commissioning, training for technical teams new to additive manufacturing, ongoing support throughout the machine’s lifecycle and preventive maintenance services.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
A.S: The 3D printing market is experiencing sustained growth.
In 2025, it represents more than 6.5 billion euros in Europe, including nearly one billion in France, with an average annual growth of around 15 percent.
We are seeing strong demand for reliable, locally produced professional solutions, driven by industrial reshoring, product customization and the need for flexibility in supply chains.
Made in France is a real competitive advantage in this context.
What can you tell us about market trends?
A.S: The major trends for 2025 are:
- The industrialization of additive manufacturing: more and more companies are using 3D printing systems for production, not just prototyping.
- The rise of advanced materials (composites, metals, high-performance polymers, recycled filaments).
- Connectivity and intelligent machine control (monitoring, AI, automation).
- A growing demand for sustainability: responsible printing that complies with environmental standards and European regulations on user safety, simple and targeted preventive maintenance operations ensuring strong durability and long service life, and local manufacturing and sourcing of machines and spare parts.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
A.S: Our latest machine, the Strateo3D Dual600 Series 2, integrates advanced monitoring features during part fabrication. It also delivers unmatched printing speed on volumes of this scale.
What estimations do you have for the end of 2025?
A.S: By the end of 2025, we plan to continue our innovation momentum with several new machines currently in development. Our roadmap remains ambitious, and the coming months will see the arrival of solutions designed to meet market needs even more effectively.
