3D Printing in Education

Markforged’s metal and composite 3D printing solutions provide students hands-on learning with tools professional engineers use every day and the necessary problem-solving and collaboration skills for success. 3D printing can also open the door to new discoveries for research and labs.

Markforged 3D printers can already be found in almost all areas of the education industry

• Research institutes
• Universities and Colleges
• Technical Schools
• High Schools
• Elementary schools

3D printing is already everywhere

Nothing conveys an idea better than holding it in your hand. 3D printing is an effective way to enhance learning. Numerous industrial companies and smaller medium-sized companies are already producing prototypes and small series with 3D printers.

In today’s highly competitive and competitive labor market, students and students gain first-hand experience with professional 3D printers, a real advantage.

Technical Colleges

Bridging the Skills Gap

As 3D printing rapidly becomes more integrated into the workplace, organizations are increasingly facing challenges in bridging the additive manufacturing skills gap.

Experts predict that over the next decade, a shortage of skilled workers could result in the production of more than 2 million jobs. Worldwide, manufacturers rely on technical schools to develop programs that attract and retain talented students and prepare them to work in advanced technology areas.

Improve Learning

What does it take to attract the best students and staff to your own college? State-of-the-art technologies and equipment are definitely an important step in the right direction.

With Markforged 3D printers, students can gain critical academic experience, create cross-departmental collaboration, and even encourage student entrepreneurship. Markforged solutions generate real excitement and problem-solving skills that can move an entire campus.

“Learning by doing”

3D printing offers a wealth of opportunities to enhance science, technology, engineering, art, and maths skills, as well as design. To present students with practical challenges, they are confronted with a hands-on approach to problem solving.

Markforged benefits for 3D printing

Print fast and inexpensively

Many Markforged 3D printers use turbo-print mode to create design concepts quickly and economically. Now you can print twice as fast as in standard mode, consuming on average only one third of the material – and without sacrificing surface quality or sacrificing resolution.

Choose onyx for printing. Onyx is a engineering thermoplastic that delivers stiff, strong and precise parts. Alone, the material is already 1.4 times stiffer than ABS and can also be reinforced with any continuous fibre. Onyx raises the bar in surface texture, chemical resistance and heat tolerance.

Simple and intuitive for educators & students

Markforged 3D printers are easy and intuitive to use. We can provide you with a 3D printer that supports almost every requirement of your curriculum. The Markforged 3D printers can be used directly in the classroom or lecture hall..

Your advantages

• Special pricing for use in classrooms, research labs, fab labs and non-profits
• Access to Markforged Additive Manufacturing University free online resources, such as design guides, tips and tricks, videos and more.
• First Robotics and SAE sponsorship opportunities
• The 3D printer in the classroom or auditorium

(Almost) unlimited possibilities

Markforged 3D printers offer a number of different options. Through the use of different composite materials such as glass fibre, carbon fibre, Kevlar, HSHT fibre glass, the components can be produced with different strengths.

Due to the almost unlimited possibilities of component production, the creativity of schools & students are encouraged and moreover finding solutions to problems is encouraged. The versatility of Markforged 3D Printers easily adapts to the many different class and student requirements.
