After the 2008 crisis, Bertier reinvented his company, orienting it toward set design and construction for the entertainment industry. Modeling in 3D, he soon became interested in digital manufacturing and CNC machines.
After Maker Faire New York in 2011, Bertier entered a competition for entrepreneurs where he presented his idea for Le FabShop, a digital workshop. In 2012, Le FabShop entered into a distribution deal with MakerBot. Bertier Luyt is now CEO of Le FabShop, which leads the personal 3d printing market in France.
