Who I am
My name is Ambroise de Vries, better unknown as Anar on the World Wide Web.
I’m a french 3D addict since 1996 and I work as fabmanager for a
french graduate school since 2018.
Background
I started my professional life as a mainframe programmer in 1989.
After discovering 3D design in 1996, I decided to give up mainframe programming for design making.
During several years I worked as a freelance designer under my own "one man" agency Spacymen.
Back in 2010 I also got interested into 3D printing and bought myself the very first commercial 3D printer kit (a Rapman from Bitsfrombytes).
I also spent several years in local fablabs as a maker before to become fabmanager for a french graduate school 2 years ago.
Portfolio and blog

You may also be interested at my blog about 3D design and 3D printing that I started in 2010.
Why did I apply to FabAcademy
This year I decided to take the FabAcademy courses because I lack knowledge in the electronic field, which makes me uncomfortable with my mission as a fabmanager.
I hope to produce quality content that will reflect my progress.
I also want to thank my employer for his agreement.
What else?
Aside from 3D, design and fablab related things, I also enjoy
- art
- music
- gardening
- learning and teaching
