3DN: Can you introduce yourself and your link with 3D printing?

Hello, my name is Jooyeon Song and I am the Co-founder of Mani.me. I first discovered 3D printing when I was 19, while working for Hyundai Engineering Center in India during my gap year at University. When I worked as an IT assistant in the center, and I was often mesmerised by how designers bring their project to life, from their head to a real object particularly thanks to 3D printing. And I started to learn about CAD modeling and studied 3D printing tech since then.
