3Dnatives exclusive interview with ONO, the 3D printer that uses your smartphone

ONO was created by Pietro Gabriele and Filippo Moroni, two men who imagined a 3D printer that you could use with your smartphone! Unveiled at Maker Faire New York in 2015, the concept (then known as OLO) knew that it would be a game changer for 3D printing!

With a largely successful Kickstarter campaign, with more than $ 2,321,811 collected, the duo hopes to make the technology accessible to as many people as possible by facilitating its use. In order to learn more about ONO and their product, we sat down with the two founders themselves to do just that.

3DN: Can you introduce yourself and your connection to 3D printing?

I’m Pietro and I’m an entrepreneur. I’ve worked with a little bit of everything, and have even managed a jazz club. I learned how to turn an idea into a profitable business through my own positive and negative experiences. I tried to share this experience with those with technical knowledge and innovative ideas so that together we can bring innovations to the world. My relationship with 3D printing is relatively young.
