Marco Cassino


Designer

29 years old, italian, doing Fab Academy 2016 at Fab Lab Torino. Degree in product design at Politecnic of Turin in 2009. Founder of Millimetrico Design Studio

Since I was young I was a maker. In 2009 I start working with product development, 3D modeling, 3D printing, rapid prototyping and prototype evaluation. I started with 3D printing because I thought that was more professional give to my customers a concrete prototype than a nice render: so I did extensive research on the internet and I ordered an Ultimaker Original. The year was 2011. Than I assembled it in a week.

From there on, I realized that I was in the right place at the right time. Currently, in addition to my designer work, I do service, maintenance and initial installation for FDM 3D printers. Befor 2011 there wasn't neither a Fab Lab in Italy, so I started using the other digital fabrication machines, asking companies to use their. At the beginning was hard, but now I have a lot of experience with the industrial machines and a lot of friends in my work life.
