Michael Volk — CEO

I’ve always been driven by a curiosity to understand how things work and find ways to optimize them. This mindset led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering & Mechatronics at Hochschule Furtwangen University, where I discovered my fascination with 3D printing. During my studies, I took on the challenge of building my first 3D printers and CNC mills from scratch—an experience that shaped my career path in manufacturing and innovation. My journey into additive manufacturing began during an internship at TRUMPF, where I joined the additive department to develop a groundbreaking LPBF machine concept. This project laid the foundation for One Click Metal, the corporate startup I co-founded with two others. At One Click Metal, our mission is clear: revolutionize manufacturing and democratize 3D printing by making the technology more accessible and impactful. While growing the company, I also pursued a Master’s degree in Precision Manufacturing & Management (2021–2023), graduating with distinction (grade 1.0), all while continuing to drive innovation in my role. Currently, I oversee engineering projects, manage our materials and parameter portfolio, and lead business development for consumer and defense products. I’m always open to connecting with like-minded individuals passionate about additive manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and advancing technology to shape the future of manufacturing. Let’s connect and explore opportunities to collaborate!
