From Veraguas to the world: young entrepreneurs turn technology into art

For Dasmenia and Alexis, a 3D printer is only the starting point. The young entrepreneurs from Veraguas use technology to shape their figures, then rely on painting and hand-finished details to turn each one into a distinct work of art.

"For us, it is not simply about settling for the printed or plastic piece. Painting is a very important part, perhaps the most important," they explain. Designs that began as basic models have developed into increasingly complex scale figures, with finishes intended to bring them closer to realism.

Their fascination with fiction has led them to create figures inspired by series and animated productions. Social media serves as both a showcase and a place to sell the work. Dasmenia and Alexis say the business’s growth has come not only from talent, but also from effort and consistency.

We are not special, we just do not give up.

"We are not special, we just do not give up," they say, describing the philosophy they have followed during four years of work. Their pieces have already reached customers inside and outside Panama, and they are preparing a shipment to Germany scheduled for November.

The entrepreneurs describe that planned shipment as evidence that borders do not limit their creativity. "We do not sell plastic, we sell human art," they say, defending the painting, dedication and human touch that give each printed figure its own character.
