From Frustration To Solution
Hi, I’m Ryan. Back in 2013, I was building a 3D printer and quickly realised how frustrating sourcing parts could be. Product information was limited, finding compatible components was difficult, and deliveries were slow. I was spending more time searching for parts than actually building.
I figured other makers must be experiencing the same frustrations, so I started Ooznest to make sourcing parts easier, with clear information, fair pricing and fast delivery.
3D printers were just the starting point. Like you, I love engineering a custom solution for any problem. Over time, we began using aluminium extrusions for our own projects and saw an opportunity to bring that same No-Fuss approach to the industry.
Today, aluminium extrusion systems are our sole focus, and our goal remains the same: to take the hassle out of sourcing parts, so you can focus on creating solutions.
