A Fine Artist at heart, Philip van der Walt got his Degree in Graphic Design as it allowed him access to design software that studying Fine Arts did not. While doing his degree he got exposed to CAD software and started to explore the 3D side of design and quickly became a Rhino specialist focusing on jewellery design and manufacturing. Further studies lead to him exploring the medical implant world of design working on designing lattice structures for titanium femurs. He lectured design and CAD for various universities and eventually started BunnyCorp where he trained academics, jewellers and various other industries CAD with training manuals developed in-house. As the business evolved he started working on 3D modelling for jewelers, the movie industry and other artists and with tons of experience creating CAD geometry for various 3D printing processes. Product development was a natural next step and working on various types of products, while working for a technology station he gained experience in various fields. As an artist he has been experimenting with digital sculpting for various applications which has led to him collaborating with other international artist/designers working on big digital sculpting projects that has been exhibited internationally. While all this happened he got involved in creating prosthetics for animals and people, teaming up with doctors and other medical experts from various fields creating new groundbreaking products.
