Join MakerBot VP of Professional Services Jordan Brehove as he discusses MakerBot Innovation Centers. A MakerBot Innovation Center is a centralized, scalable 3D printing solution composed of MakerBot Replicator 3D printers, software, supplies, and services.
SUNY New Paltz has a new mechanical engineering major and a certificate in design and digital fabrication. Students help area entrepreneurs bring their inventions to market. And New Paltz won a $10 million SUNY 2020 challenge grant. What will a MakerBot Innovation Center do for your institution?
The A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland uses an “ecosystem of making” — with two labs and a startup incubator — to teach the engineering students of today. What can a MakerBot Innovation Center do for your institution?
Check out this quick video on how 3D printing is already playing a major role in many areas of education. Bring science, math, and engineering concepts to life by incorporating 3D printing into your curricula.
Move from inspiration to innovation in your classroom with reliable, easy-to-use connected 3D printing solutions.
Montclair students learn 3D printing and 3D design from elementary school all the way through high school. This paradigm in STEM learning is possible with amazing teachers, administrators and the help of MakerBot content, community and support.
You won’t believe what the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center created for NASA with their MakerBot® Desktop 3D Printers. The James Webb Telescope will be NASA’s biggest science mission to date, the largest telescope ever launched, and the first to carry a camera optimized for viewing infrared light, the NIRCam. Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is tasked with building it. That doesn’t intimidate ATC engineer Alison Nordt, who believes that the James Webb Telescope’s pictures of deep space “will change our understanding of the universe and be much more spectacular than anything we’ve ever seen before.” To…
A class of Browning eighth-graders, who designed their own Lego-style pieces, learns how to print them on a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer. When the eighth-grade boys finish the project, these pieces will be mixed in to the building blocks in lower-school classrooms. When Stephen M. Clement, III, became headmaster, in 1988, parents didn’t ask much about what their boys would learn about technology, he says. Today, tours of the K-12 school for parents of prospective students make an obligatory stop at the technology lab. “From seeing it as a potential force that might wreck the finances of…
Helen Yentus, the art director of Riverhead Books, talks about designing a 3D printed slipcase for a limited edition of Chang-rae Lee’s novel “On Such a Full Sea.” The slipcase was printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer. Yentus shows her early pencil sketches and describes how they evolved into the slipcase, which she designed in collaboration with the MakerBot Studio.
Brooklyn Tech is the largest specialized high school for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in the United States. In this video, teacher Tom Curanovic talks about how rapid prototyping is transforming his computer-integrated manufacturing lab, and senior Vishnu Sanigepalli describes what he has learned by using the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer.
The State University of New York at New Paltz is home to the world’s first MakerBot Innovation Center: a ground-floor room with 30 MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers. “3D printing is training students to think in a different way,” says Dan Freedman, dean of science and engineering at New Paltz. “If students come out of here knowing about 3D printing and different applications of it, it will give them a better chance of starting a career.”
