He is a Fab Lab Guru, permanent scientific staff member of the Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences, and the owner of his own machine building company. With a background in computer science, he now implements local digital fabrication courses in official university programs and develops open source hardware. Leaving behind a long series of Fab Lab-made projects, Daniele managed to develop several open source machines, such as a dual source laser cutter and the largest open source 3D printer. With projects being replicated in many other countries worldwide, Daniele has held several fabrication and machine building workshops around the world. He lives in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
