In rows, as an amphitheatre or in islands, depending on the room and the view of the teacher's unit.

Air, suction, water, power and IT: coordinate early with the architect and technical services.
Schedule
Installation is prepared for a break in teaching and can be done in several phases.
Outside the Benelux, supply depends on your country and on each manufacturer. Send us your project: we will pass it to the right contact, the manufacturer or its local partner.

A few details are enough: we will get back to you with the right contact.
Frequently asked questions
Can a lab be equipped in phases?
Yes: the plan sets out the phases, and each phase is installed during a break in teaching.
Can old phantom heads be kept?
We take an inventory during the study and tell you what can be kept, adapted or replaced.
Are prices displayed?
Simulators are priced after the study of your room. Frasaco heads, models and teeth are sold online.
