With the ability to print out virtually any 3D object you can imagine, MakerBot 3D printers give educators an engaging way to teach 3D design and printing skills to their students. Thanks to the simple set-up experience, easy-to-use hardware and software, and variety of educational and support resources available, Makerbot provides an easy way to introduce the 3D design and printing process to your classroom.
MakerBot offers a full set of solutions and services that enable students to tackle real-world problems — at any grade level.
3D printing offers a new approach for educators to engage students in critical thinking and problem-solving — and it brings lesson plans to life. Getting to design a 3D model and then see it come to life as a 3D print is exciting, keeps students engaged, and helps them gain a better understanding of the concepts they’re learning.
MakerBot Sketch
The Makerbot Sketch Printer allows you to complete your classroom printing faster, make 3D printing more accessible to your students, and boost the opportunities for student innovation.
Some of the main features of the Makerbot SKETCH Printer include:
Heated build plate for better adhesion and a flexible surface for easier removal of finished prints.
Touch screen controls for easy 3D printing navigation.
Fully enclosed 3D printing chamber to protect against humidity, moisture and air flow, all of which can negatively impact the print.
Particulate filter to safely circulate out particles emitted during printing.
MakerBot Sketch Large
With a larger build volume, the Makerbot Sketch Large allows teachers to skip the 3D printing bottleneck and print up to 10 projects on a build plate at the same time, giving you your time back in the classroom and students more opportunities to 3D print.
Students can engage in printing different bridge structures for physics, printing the skull of t-rex for biology class, or leveraging 3D printing for problem-solving projects.
MakerBot Cloud
MakerBot Cloud is cloud-based software that lets students prep designs and allows educators to manage 3D print queues for their printers from a single dashboard, from anywhere, on any web-enabled device.
Students can prep their designs in the software and then submit their designs to the virtual queue. Teachers then have the ability to organize and print the student’s designs on any printer, in any order they choose, making 3D printer management seamless and efficient.
