Agustin Flowalistik
aka FLOWALISTIK
I LOVE 3D printing, not because I’m a geek designer who likes noisy machines, but because I love sharing. I also love pizza, my green Game Boy and animals. I’m originally a graphic designer and illustrator and I got into 3D printing because it was the next step after Lego. Now I try to mix all the things I learned in university and create useful and funny designs that use 3D printing in all or some of its steps.

aka Frew
Hi there! I’m Zach, I’m the new community manager at Pinshape. I got into 3D printing a few years ago after having my very first printer ignite after a few hours of use. Since then, I’ve been hooked and I’ve enjoyed the burns and lacerations associated with the craft. I’ve been running my printer 24/7 and I’m a long time Pinshaper under the username “Frew”. I look forward to seeing all of your awesome designs and continuing to grow Pinshape as the best 3D model hub there is!

Founder, Wearable Planter
I’m the founder of Wearable Planter, and make 3D printed jewelry and accessories for you your bike. I love 3D printing because it helps me bring my silly ideas to life. I started 3D printing when I was a student at Georgia Tech, and never looked back! When I’m not 3D printing things, you can find me riding my bike around Atlanta, tending to my window garden, or going on adventures with my little dog Jack.
