Education Solutions
Create a powerful learning combination at your school, college or university. Stratasys and Formlabs 3D printers will empower you to bring innovative technology into the classroom which inspires students to reach new levels of thinking.
Stratasys and Formlabs 3D printers are in schools across North America, serving more than 250,000 students. 3D printing is utilized across a wide variety of classrooms: Pre-engineering, engineering, drafting, architecture, CAD, archaeology, anthropology, biology and art. They are designed to engage elementary, high school and university students in STEAM and design-related fields. The use of 3D printing in the classroom will help students become college- and career-ready.
Why are 3D Printers used for Education?
- Provide a Hands-on Experience: Using 3D printing is an exciting alternative to virtual modeling because students can actually see, hold and interact with their projects.
- Offer STEAM Curriculum: An excellent match for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) curriculum projects at associate, undergraduate and graduate levels. Educators can increase engagement with exciting classroom projects.
- Provide Industry Experience: The same 3D Printers in use at academic and technical institutions are also used by your students’ future employers, like major manufacturers Magna, Honda, and Boeing.

Allowing students to learn, explore ideas, test designs and solve real-life problems
Economical to run
Stratasys 3D printers feature fast-draft mode to produce design concepts quickly and economically. Students can print twice as fast as standard build mode while consuming just a third of the material on average. For even more efficiency and savings, choose PLA. A thermoplastic made from renewable resources.
Easy for educators and students
Stratasys and Formlabs 3D printers are easy to operate and maintain for all experience levels. Minimal setup means you can plug and play to start 3D printing. The Stratasys 3D printers are classroom-ready. Auto-calibration ensures you spend less time troubleshooting and more time 3D printing. Fast and easy material swaps streamline the transition time between projects, so nothing slows you down.
More Ways to Make
The Stratasys 3D printers offer a range of strength and layer resolution options to suit almost any learning application. 3D printers offer different materials, along with an easy-to-remove soluble support.
Its ability to accurately reproduce virtually any shape in real production plastics both inspires creativity and encourages problem solving. The versatility of 3D printing effortlessly adapts to many different classroom and student needs.
