Hi, I’m Manuel! - Engineer and Designer with a deep love for building useful things.
I grew up in Schopfheim, Germany and studied Mechatronics at the University of Offenburg. Since 2019 I have been running my small tech lab, where I create machines and devices that turn ideas into something practical and useful.
Before studying, I worked as an industrial mechanic until 2017, which gave me a strong foundation in mechanical design and manufacturing.
In 2019 I bought my first 3D printer, a Prusa MK3S, and since then the park of printers and machines I use has grown steadily.
From 2023 until October 2025 I worked as an engineer in electronics production, which helped me gain valuable experience in process optimization, automation, and quality control. During that time, I built and developed a lot of my design projects part time in my own lab.
The projects I work on range from mechanical designs, electronics and microcontroller programming to 3D printing, CNC machining, artistic work and sometimes just fun stuff that turns out to be useful.
Since October 2025 I have been working full time in the lab, which I currently manage on my own, though I receive a lot of help and input from other engineers who are development partners and friends.
In the workshop, the 3D printers are running almost non-stop, CNC machines are humming, and microcontrollers are quietly blinking in the corner. It’s a space full of motion, noise, and ideas coming to life.
I hope that when people see my work, they feel inspired to create things themselves and start bringing their own ideas to life.
Big thank you for visiting and for taking an interest in my work!
