Deezmaker

Deezmaker manufactures 3-D printer kits which are sold online and at its San Dimas , California retail store. The Deezmaker retail store was also the first 3-D printer store on the West Coast (and only the second one in the country.) Opened in late 2012 (previously in Pasadena), Deezmakers in-store makerspace gives 3-D printing enthusiasts a place... to get together and find ways to innovate and move the field forward. Monthly open meetings for the community on the first Sunday of each month have become local focal points for 3D printing evangelism. Deezmaker was a Kickstarter success story from its beginnings. A 2012 campaign for the first printer (the Bukobot) launched the company, raising roughly four times the minimum requested amount. A subsequent Kickstarter campaign in summer 2013 for the new, portable Bukito printer raised 2.5 times its requested goal. Diego Porqueras is the President and Founder of Deezmaker.

The project quickly raised nearly four times the requested amount, and a few months later he opened Deezmaker the first 3D printing store & hackerspace in the U.S. Diego has always been fascinated by making things. A summer school computer science class in sixth grade got him started, and he continued with high school metal shop, electronics and computer programing. Diego worked as a photographer, graphic designer and as a web developer for many years and then, in 2000, took a film class at Pasadenas Art Center College of Design which started a new career in the film industry. He started working as a production assistant on movies and music videos and took any opportunity he could get to be on film sets. Eventually, he started working productions in the camera department as a camera tech working on films such as Jim Carreys Fun with Dick and Jane, Children of Men, Burn After Reading and other commercials and television shows. A desire to make better camera mount equipment led him to 3D printing, and ...Read More
