My aim is to be able to make everythink I can think of. I try to push 3D modeling to its limits, but within the boundaries of what's possible to make. Fortunately, the digital revolution opens a lot of new, endless opportunities. I really enjoy discovering the crossover between algorithms, 3D modeling and digital prototyping.

I'm always full of ideas to make new stuff and expand my skillsets. Some make it, on others I stop halfway because starting on another project caught my attention. But once I'm determined on building something, I do it thoroughly.

I want to have the ultimate workshop at home. Bit by bit I'm getting there. Right now, I focus on making and buying tools that extend my capabilities as a maker. With every new machine, you get to discover new techniques, materials or ways of working. I'm limited to having tools and machines that aren't ridiculous to have in an appartment. So, having a dedicated area for metals (welding, casting and sheet metal) is yet something for the future.

For the things I develop, I build on knowledge of other geeks on the internet. I try to keep track of what others are making in their sheds and that inspires me. I consider myself to be autodidactic, but it always helps to see other people making and struggling on similar topics.

In 1990, I was born and raised in Budel, Brabant. Grew up surrounded by Technic Lego. I was happy when my mother's kitchen tools would break down, because then I could tear it apart to discover how it would function. During my study in Delft, I was privileged with well equiped, large toolshops. These places fell away for me when I graduated, so that's when I bought my first 3D printer kit. At first, it seemed a little overkill to print models at home. Right now, I cannot imagine having no printer anymore.
