About Oliver Abbott

My journey into digital fabrication stems from a deep fascination with how things work and how they're made. Beyond engineering, I'm actively involved in varsity football, competitive mountain bike racing, and earned my Eagle Scout rank—experiences that have fundamentally shaped my work ethic, discipline, and leadership abilities.

I also have a passion for automotive restoration, having previously worked on a 1951 Ford F1 and currently undertaking a complete frame-off restoration of my own chromatic 1979 Ford Bronco. This project focuses on maintaining factory authenticity while enhancing key performance aspects like engine compression, reliability, and efficiency.

Through my academic and professional journey, I've developed a diverse skill set spanning design, engineering, and digital fabrication technologies.

Beyond the technical aspects of digital fabrication, I'm passionate about how these technologies can bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, whether it's restoring classic automobiles or designing cutting-edge mechanical solutions.

"The best engineering solutions come from understanding both the problem and the craft—whether you're restoring a classic Bronco or advancing modern manufacturing through digital fabrication."
