From Passion to Purpose
How Our 3D Printing Journey Began
Have you ever dreamed of turning a passion into something bigger—something that brings joy not just to yourself but to others? For us, that dream became a reality through 3D printing. What started as a fascination with technology has grown into a mission to make a meaningful impact on the lives of others.
Our journey began with a shared love for art, computers and tech. The idea of imagining an item and then creating it with a 3D printer was captivating enough to make us dive headfirst into the world of 3D printing. After some research, we started with a Bambu Labs P1S, a choice that marked the beginning of a life-changing adventure.
But the real inspiration came closer to home. Watching the joy articulated prints brought to our nephews, aged 2 to 9, was unforgettable. It was especially heartwarming to see how calming these prints were for the oldest, who is autistic. This was our lightbulb moment: realizing that through 3D printing, we could bring this same joy and calm to many others who might not have access to these unique items.
Like any new venture, starting a 3D printing business wasn’t without its hurdles. The learning curve was steep—we had to master new software and spend countless hours searching for files that aligned with our mission to create value. It wasn’t easy, but we believe that persistence pays off. Obstacles become manageable when you keep pushing forward, either by shrinking them down or finding creative ways around them.
The moment that truly reaffirmed our mission came just recently when we were invited to present at a school. Seeing the excitement and curiosity of the students as we introduced them to the possibilities of 3D printing was an experience we’ll never forget. It reminded us why we put in the long hours and face the challenges—it’s about inspiring the next generation to dream big and create fearlessly.
Our dream is to grow our business into a maker space where others can learn, explore, and create. We want to help people avoid the challenges we faced and find joy in this incredible hobby. The world of 3D printing is constantly evolving, and we’re thrilled to be part of this journey of endless learning and discovery.
At the heart of it all, our story is about passion and purpose. We hope that by sharing our journey, we can inspire others to take that first step toward their own dreams. Whether you’re a novice printer, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone simply curious about 3D printing, remember: Don’t give up, and fuel your imagination.
