About David Perry
As a mechanical engineer, David is always seeking innovative ways to design and create things. In September of 2012 David attended the OSHWA Open Hardware Summit and was inspired to create a company focused on using 3D printing and open source practices to improve products and institutions. In 2013, David designed the first 3D printed electric violin that anyone could download and make. In doing so, he realized his long-time dream of making a violin, albeit in a bit of a different way than he expected.
When David isn’t driving CAD and tinkering on 3D printers he’s out mountain biking, gardening, and chasing a toddler in and around Portland, OR.

- Creating innovative client products with digital design and manufacturing services.
- Empowering businesses and educational institutions with the latest digital design/fab tools and strategies for community engagement.
