My entrepreneurship
My venture with digital manufacturing was born in 2019 before the covid 19 pandemic, my aspiration was to have a FABLAB laboratory, starting by acquiring a 3D printer, then acquiring a PCB machine and then implementing with other digital manufacturing printers. Now I have a CO2 laser printer for which I am fascinated by digital technology.
