About

Welcome to I Built a Thing — an engineering channel hosted by Andreas Roser. I build things, test technologies, and investigate how and why they actually work. My projects combine hands-on engineering with experimentation, measurement, and scientific rigor — testing claims, comparing technologies, analyzing failures, and sometimes developing entirely new approaches. The channel focuses heavily on 3D printing and additive manufacturing, but projects also involve CAD, mechanical engineering, electronics, programming, materials, and experimental R&D. I'm a 3D printing specialist with 25+ years of professional experience across industrial, medical, aerospace, and research applications, with an original background as a tool mechanic/metal worker. Serious engineering doesn't have to be serious entertainment. Build it. Test it. Measure it. Break it. Understand it.
