Using money borrowed from his parents, he purchased a multicolor 3D printer and began producing personalized toys from his home.<\/p>\n<p>As customer demand increased, Aaron enlisted his twin brother, Alain Osirus, to help manage the business. Alain now assists with product design, marketing, production scheduling, and order fulfillment while the brothers balance running the company with school responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a designer for A3D. Sometimes I make the toys, and I also help with marketing,\u201d Alain told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>. \u201cI check the time, how long it takes, the cost, fulfillment, and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brothers specialize in 3D-printed articulated toys and fidget products that customers can customize by color and design. Their most time-intensive item, a four-color kitten figurine that takes about 24 hours to print, sells for $5. They also encourage repeat business by offering returning customers a 50-cent discount and say the company generates about $200 in monthly profit after expenses.<\/p>\n<p>The venture has become more than a source of income. It has introduced the twins to budgeting, pricing, production planning, and customer service while giving them firsthand experience operating a small business at an early age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I see them play with my prints, I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh yeah, that\u2019s really cool because I made it,&#8217;\u201d Aaron said.<\/p>\n<p>The brothers hope their success inspires other young entrepreneurs to pursue their own ideas despite their age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFollow your dreams. Just try your hardest,\u201d Aaron said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to save up the money. You\u2019ve got to plan for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alain echoed that message, encouraging aspiring business owners to remain competitive and committed to their goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChase your dreams. Outcompete everyone else in your business,\u201d he said. \u201cShow them what you\u2019re made of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED CONTENT: 12-Year-Old Gabrielle Goodwin Lands A Mega-Retail Deal with Target<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>photo credit: pexels by Sidnee Michelle July 16, 2026 Aaron Osirus launched A3D after recognizing demand for customizable fidget toys among classmates.
