Our Story

How a 3D‑Printer & a Paintbrush Sparked Morocco’s Auto‑Art Movement

The night Hamza hit “Print” and called Jihan would change our creative roads forever.

Rabat, 2023. Resin fumes swirled through a tiny apartment as a desktop printer birthed its first car silhouette. Failures? Plenty. But every misprint whispered a promise: “Merge art and automotives—do it, dare it.”

Printer Fails & First Wins

The first month was 90 % “scrap bin.” Layer lines, cracked spoilers, uncured resin puddles—Hamza saw them all. Yet, with each restart the printer spoke a new language: exposure times, supports, Z‑hop. By sunrise one July morning, a flawless miniature glistened like fresh paint at a Sunday meet.

When Art Met Torque

Plastic alone felt too clinical. Hamza wanted brushstrokes, texture, soul. The idea: fuse additive manufacturing with fine‑art storytelling—sculpted depth plus painted drama.

DM to Destiny: Meeting Jihan

Scrolling Instagram, Hamza stopped at a vivid canvas of a rally legend—signed simply “Jihan.” One DM later, they met in a Casablanca studio thick with turpentine + turbo‑dreams.

“Bring the model—I’ll bring the colours.”
—Jihan, 2023

Brand‑New Garage: Launch Day

Five prototypes grew into a lineup—wall art, miniatures, keychains, apparel. A studio opened in Agdal; two apprentices joined the pit crew. The banner above the door read: The Art of Automotives—hand‑built in Morocco, shipped worldwide.
