Innovation Journey

Mike Moceri's career catapulted in 2012 when he co-founded 3DPX, the world's first 3D printing retail service bureau. This Chicago-based startup gained global recognition for its unique blend of retail and production, signifying a new era in 3D printing services, on-demand manufacturing, and product design.

Building on this success, Moceri ventured into Detroit's manufacturing industry by establishing Manulith in 2014. Manulith offered a comprehensive suite of services ranging from design and rapid prototyping to production for the automotive, aerospace, medical, consumer products, and industrial application sectors within the Great Lakes Region.

In 2018, he expanded his footprint further by converting Manulith to MakerOS. As an industry-leading software-as-a-service platform, MakerOS served small to mid-sized design, engineering, and manufacturing firms. It digitized their workflow from initial client interaction to project management, production, and payments. As of 2022, MakerOS proudly served over 10,000 businesses globally.

Current Focus

Following the acquisition of MakerOS by Shapeways (NYSE: SHPW) in April 2022, Mike took on the role of Head of Software GTM and then later assumed a broader role as the Director of Product, Strategy, and Co-Innovation, further solidifying his leadership in the sector.

Moceri now resides in Metro Detroit, working on a new problem set and challenges from which multiple new ventures and areas of research and development are forming via the founding of Config Holdings.

His diverse interests span across energy, manufacturing, micro-industrial automation, product design, AI, new media development for fine arts, storage/data processing related blockchains, and geopolitics, reflecting his commitment to continuous learning and innovation. Mike is currently focusing his 15+ years of management and entrepreneurial experience to new horizons with R&D in AI application development, the integration of advanced manufacturing workflows, and scalable business ventures in the new AI paradigm.
