Young innovator blends Manx heritage with cutting-edge 3D printing technology
A talented 13-year-old entrepreneur from Douglas is bringing Manx folklore to life through an innovative 3D printing venture. Scott Reid has spent the past couple of years developing his business, and is now ready to unveil his debut collection — a move that showcases the Isle of Man's creative talent and cultural heritage in a modern, tech-forward way.
Scott's new range, titled Journey of Triskelion, draws inspiration from traditional Manx stories and legendary creatures that have captivated islanders for generations. The collection features designs based on iconic figures from our folklore, including the mysterious Moddey Dhoo (the legendary black dog) and the beloved Manx cat. Each piece represents a blend of cultural storytelling and contemporary manufacturing technology.
The launch event takes place on 30 April at Launchpad's Event Space in Hillary House, Douglas. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to witness 3D printing technology in action during a live demonstration, followed by a presentation and Q&A session with Scott himself — a fascinating insight into how a young Manx entrepreneur is turning passion into product.
What makes this venture particularly special is Scott's commitment to giving back. Twenty percent of all sales proceeds will be donated to charity, demonstrating that innovation on the Isle of Man can serve both creative and charitable purposes.
Whether you're a local keen to support young island talent, a visitor interested in authentic Manx-inspired souvenirs, or simply curious about the future of Isle of Man entrepreneurship, this is an event worth adding to your calendar.
