Hi, I'm Michael John Sweers, the founder of More Than Layers. My passion lies in advancing the field of 3D design and additive manufacturing, particularly through the lens of Computational Design. With over a decade in the industry, I'm driven by the potential of technology to bring innovative ideas to fruition. At More Than Layers, we specialize in using Computational Design to enhance large-scale additive manufacturing, making it more accessible and efficient. We're dedicated to breaking down complex processes, enabling a diverse range of individuals and teams to realize their creative visions. In addition to my work, I have a personal goal: to support and stimulate the Dutch start-up scene. I am committed to mentoring and guiding emerging start-ups, especially those venturing into technology and innovation. I believe in fostering a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem where new ideas can thrive and lead to impactful developments. Collaboration and lifelong learning are central to my philosophy. I value interactions with people from various fields and backgrounds, embracing the mutual growth that comes from sharing experiences and knowledge. Whether through workshops, speaking engagements, or informal chats, I'm always open to new perspectives and ideas. If you're as excited as I am about the future of Computational Design, additive manufacturing, or if you're a part of the Dutch start-up community looking for guidance and collaboration, let's connect. Together, we can explore new possibilities and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of technology and innovation.
