Andy Tran - Modern Inventor©

DESIGNER, ENGINEER, CAR ENTHUSIAST

I'm just making stuff and learning.

About

This page is a mix of where I’ve been and what I’m building now. I’ve spent over a decade designing machines, creating automotive parts, and helping turn ideas into real things. From large-format 3D printers to custom Mercedes aero designs, I’ve always chased projects that blend creativity with engineering. My work spans across aerospace, automotive, and 3D printing — but at the core, it’s all about building cool things that work.
