About me

I'm Mārtiņš, and I like making things

I live in Dobele, I work in IT, and 3D printing is the thing that won't leave me alone. Shapify is my workshop.

Shapify workshop with 3D printers and finished parts
Mārtiņš · Shapify

It started with one printer and curiosity about how far it could go. Quite a bit further than I expected, as it turned out. I've been around computers and hardware for years, and 3D printing added the part I was missing: a result you can pick up and hold.

Since then I've printed nearly everything. Kitchen helpers you simply can't buy in a shop. Parts for hobbies. Toys. And my favourite of all, robotic arms — mechanics, electronics and code meeting in one place, which is where it gets genuinely interesting.

If you have an idea, send it over. It doesn't matter whether it's a finished 3D model or a sketch on a napkin — either is a fine place to start. Write to me and you'll get a reply from a person, not a form.

What I make
