About the dream of developing a personal project

After working a quarter of a century for third parties, from research centres to multinational and family companies, Segurola came to the conclusion of his need to have his own business project without depending on third parties to be able to develop projects of his own interest. He envisioned 3D printing technology and Additive Manufacturing as the democratic revolution of the digital age, since anyone can become a "homo ludens" or playing man, and a "homo faber" or tool maker, since 3D printing allows the printing and custom manufacture of materials with a low investment, hence the term, democratic revolution, since it enables anyone, even without economic resources, to be creative and create things by manufacturing their own designs.

Entrepreneurship

After a quarter of a century of international academic and business experience in the science, technology and industry of photopolymer, solvent, and water based resin systems, in 2017 he decided to launch his own company as sole proprietor, Resyner Technologies S.L., and 3Dresyns, his disruptive online sales platform of 3D printing materials for Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing.
