Setup Performance is the French company located in Lyon which develops and makes the innovation products for laser agglomeration. Setup Performance — the main partner of Advanc3D Materials in development of materials for three-dimensional printing.

For development of the direction of three-dimensional printing of BASF as buys the companies (Advanc3D Materials and Setup Performance to that an example), and closely cooperates with global research platforms and also with research institutes, the universities, startups and different industrial partners.
