About MiCHAEL
(or mike)
In 2012, Mike co-founded the world’s first 3D printing retail service bureau in downtown Chicago, 3DPX, which gained international notoriety for its hybrid retail/production business model. After leaving 3DPX in 2014, Mike bootstrapped the founding of Manulith in Detroit, offering design, prototyping, and production services for automotive, aerospace, medical, and startup organizations within the Great Lakes Region.
Two years later, in 2016, while still running Manulith, Mike founded MakerOS, with offices in Detroit and New York City. MakerOS is a software-as-a-service for small and mid-sized design, engineering, and manufacturing firms. It digitizes their entire workflow from an initial client's request to project management, production, payments, and more. MakerOS, as of 2022, provides the platform to over 10,000 individual users ranging from 3D printing fabrication services, product design firms, Fortune 500 firms, universities, R&D labs, startups, artists, and more.
After MakerOS was acquired by Shapeways (April 2022 | NYSE: SHPW), Mike now leads as the Director of Product, Strategy, and Co-Innovation.
Mike currently lives in New York City with professional, family, and friend networks in the regions of Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Telluride, and Sicily; and associated organizations within manufacturing, engineering, fine arts, military, government, construction, automotive, aerospace/space, non-profit, education, energy, and startups.
Areas of Interest:
Energy, manufacturing, automation, product design, AI, storage/data processing related blockchains, geopolitics and more.
