OUR LAUNCH STORY

INSPIRED BY A 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL


When 11-year-old Alanna wanted to learn 3D modeling, it wasn’t just a passing interest—it was a spark. Her mom, who worked at 3DTraining.com, helped her get access to Autodesk Fusion 360, and Alanna dove in with passion and focus.

Within weeks, she was designing her own creations: a left-handed thermos mug, a cat-themed phone case, and more. But it wasn’t just the designs that stood out—it was her dream to one day use 3D printing and nanotechnology to help cancer patients.

That dream caught the attention of Bobby Roy, founder of 3DTraining.com. Moved by her creativity and purpose, he launched the 3D Entrepreneurs Club—a social impact initiative to help young innovators like Alanna turn their ideas into reality and make a difference in the world.
