3D printing in the classroom isn’t just about the 3D printer. It’s about the curriculum, the projects, and knowledge that surrounds it. That’s why we include 3D printer training, design thinking curriculum, and easy access to lesson plans and projects. Plus enough filament to print all your students’ projects.

The perfect printer-to-student ratio

Kick off a 3D printing program in your school with enough printers to handle a full classroom’s worth of printing.

ISTE certifcation for teachers

With ISTE-certified 3D printer training and design thinking curriculum, educators can prove their expertise in 3D printing and stand out as STEM education leaders.

Student certification for up to 10 students

Self-paced, interactive training. This certification prepares your students for 3D printing and career-building skills that go beyond the classroom.

Why two 3D printers?

Two 3D printers allow more students to engage with the technology at the same time. They can work in smaller groups, maintaining higher levels of interest and increasing the educational benefits of 3D printing.
