Additional Information

By keeping up with the developing technology, which never gets tired of learning and tries to manage the situation in the best quality and appropriate way, trying to do the job in the best way and most error-free. It is one of my general principles to ensure that the production lines are faultless and in the best way by using the best equipment.

Working on a production system that values people gives me happiness while preserving company values and profiting from companies.
Each project is like a separate competitor for me to beat.

My main goal is to use machines and materials that will cause the least harm to the environment in the developing world.

For me, if the subject is business, there is not always black or white, sometimes it is in the gray area, and from this point of view, I would like to solve the problems in the best way as soon as possible.

3d Printers

I bought my first 3d printer in 2016, then I started to understand 3D printers and work on them mechanically, then I took out my own printer brand Hubo3d. I improved my techniques and worked with some filament manufacturers to develop new filaments. Since I had to concentrate on my main job with covid 19, I couldn't deal with printers much, but I still deal with it in my spare time. I also help big factories in the prototyping part. I recently printed a prototype chair for a chair factory. I can send you the pictures. also a few of my printers are used in the United Nations Organizations.
