After getting our first 3 D printer in 2021, my son and I came up with the great idea to share with others the amazing thing that 3D printing can do for their school.
The cost of materials needed can be prohibitive to schools to include.
Real-world problem solving
3D printing labs give students a space to learn, explore ideas, test designs and solve real-life problems using technologies that are quickly becoming the industry standard. Watch the on-demand webinar to learn about the things you should consider when researching and planning the creation of an academic 3D Print Lab or Makerspace at your school.
