About Me
Simon Harper
Founder
I’m passionate about manufacturing, automation, and product design. With a background in logistics, manufacturing, and mechatronics engineering, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges faced by Australian businesses. High labor costs, expensive materials, and global competition have made it difficult for local manufacturers to compete. I believe 3D printing is the key to overcoming these challenges.
As a former 3D printer technician, I’ve witnessed the incredible potential of this technology. My journey taught me that 3D printing works best as part of a larger manufacturing system – a tool to complement, not replace, existing processes. That’s why I’m here: to help Australian businesses integrate 3D printing and bring manufacturing back home.
