About Cliever

I founded and ran Cliever Tecnologia for 11 years (2011–2022), one of Brazil's pioneers in additive manufacturing — 3D printing. We built the Cliever SL1, Brazil's first stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer, and developed our own plastic filaments.

From the workbench to industry

Cliever brought Brazilian-made 3D printing to companies and industry. We exported to 15+ countries across all 5 continents and delivered projects for Embraer, Natura, Globo, Intelbras and Renault.

Behind it was a full operation: product development, manufacturing, supplier chain, quality, sales and after-sales — the hands-on foundation for everything I now apply in operations and supply chain.

Recognition: CNI — Brazil's 22 Innovation Cases

In 2017, Cliever was selected by CNI (Brazil's National Confederation of Industry) as one of Brazil's 22 Innovation Cases. The same period brought other recognition, such as the INFO Start Award (INFO magazine, 2012) and the FIMEC Product Launch Award (2012).

What this means for you

Having built a hardware factory from scratch means knowing production, supplier and quality bottlenecks first-hand. That's the experience I bring to operations and supply chain consulting.
