Marty is passionate about specific design for additive manufacturing; creating parts that are inspired by science, nature and art.
His 3D printing journey started back in 2005, working for one of New Zealand’s first 3D printing companies in a new marketplace.
He designed parts for the Z Corporation Spectrum 3D printer, finding innovative solutions for problems that traditional methods could not solve.
His designs utilize open-source software as much as possible, and he is skilled with tools such as FreeCAD, Blender, MeshLab, and Debian.
He also likes to create his own custom 3D design software using C++, ODE, OpenGL, CGAL, and OpenFrameworks.
In late 2022 he joined the team at Zenith Tecnica as a Mechanical Engineer. Day to day Marty is involved in the production of titanium components, preparing customers designs for builds and managing relationships with key clients.
Outside of work, Marty spends most of his free time training and teaching the art of submission grappling. He competes on a regular basis across the country.
