Senior🎓
Top SchoolVik Olliver is a veteran hardware-software maker and inventor with 11+ years focused on practical 3D printing, CAD/CAM education, and open-source replication technologies. Best known as a core developer of the RepRap project, he pioneered desktop 3D printing and early use of biodegradable PLA feedstocks, and now works on micron-scale fabrication with an eye toward ethical self-replication. He runs Diamond Age Solutions designing printers and custom consumables, teaches rapid hands-on CAD/3D workflows at Masterton Fab Lab, and combines deep Linux/C-era programming chops with practical chemist and EMT training. Comfortable from low-level systems to workshop fabrication, Vik has a rare blend of journalistic, artistic and engineering experience that helps translate ambitious prototypes into reliable physical artefacts.
