A course by Agustín Arroyo
Agustín Arroyo, better known in the maker world as Flowalistik, is a product designer and educator who currently lives in Madrid, Spain. He's been passionate about creating new products since he was young; what he used to do with Legos, he now does with a computer and a 3D printer.
He's been working in digital manufacturing since 2013 and his creations are characterized by minimalist shapes, attention to detail, and, above all, functionality. He's collaborated with companies like Ultimaker, BCN3D, and Prusa Printers, creating end products, promo collections, and new designs. Most of his designs are free for download, meaning anyone with access to a 3D printer can make them.
