I’m Agustin, a designer and content specialist based in Madrid and working remotely
I was born in Argentina and moved to Spain as a child. Yes, I do have an accent. I studied Design at UCM and Tech Project Management at UNIR, always with a creative and self-learning mindset.
While still a student, I got into the 3D printing industry. What started as a hobby became my professional career and a dream come true!
Since 2013, I have been designing strategies, services, and content for people - with people - across the 3D printing and manufacturing industries. My work has been focused on product innovation, community building, education, and content creation.
Also, I love my cats, hard science fiction, and dulce de leche.

Nothing. I came up with that word as a teenager and I used it as my username on social media. When I tried to change it, it was already everywhere, so I decided to build my personal brand around it.
-
The best way to directly support my work is sharing it on social media and joining Patreon. You’ll get access to all my designs and behind the scenes content!
-
Being really passionate about creating and sharing played a key role. I built a strong online presence over the years in an industry that was just getting started, and non-professional experience and soft skills held great value.
Luck and privilege where there, but the welcoming and thriving community really made the difference.
I invite you to check my work experience on LinkedIn.

Most of my 3D printing projects are available for free, but they come with a non-commercial license.
If you want to sell 3D prints of my designs you can do it by joining the Commercial License tier on my Patreon page.
-
Getting into 3D printing can be hard. There are many ways to do it, resources and technologies.
I made an Introduction to 3D Printing Course that focuses on the important stuff. However, it’s always important to come to 3D printing with an open and curious mindset. Making mistakes is part of the learning process.
