Fabrizio Cimò is an Italian engineer who has always had a passion for the world of 3D graphics and design. During his first degree in industrial design, he started uploading video lessons covering 3D modeling tools such as Rhinoceros, Blender, and Fusion 360 on his YouTube channel. Sometime later, Autodesk noticed his work and asked him to keep promoting Fusion 360 as an official student ambassador. During this time, he also joined Dynamis PRC, a racing team from Milano PT competing in the Formula SAE championship; thanks to this experience and his avid curiosity, he improved his knowledge of the manufacturing world. Today, Fabrizio works as a machine designer for an important company in the laser-cutting sector.
