Educational Packs
3D printing is quickly becoming a cornerstone of today’s classroom. From kindergartens to universities, 3D printing has proven itself as a reliable technology, keeping students engaged in fun filled, educational activities.
Realizing the budget constraints of many school districts, Tequipment offers special package deals, available only to educational customers. These range from basic classroom systems, to complete setups for large libraries and college laboratories. Big or small, we have the system for you.
The 3D Systems Classroom Starter Pack (part number 391255) is an excellent way to enter into 3D printing. Not only does it include the printer, but also many accessorial items to enhance your 3D printing experience. Cubify Invent and Cubify Sculpt are powerful software packages which enable users of all levels to work in computer design with no special training. Simply create a model on the computer, and print it out. It’s that simple. You also get extra filament cartridges, a 3D scanner, and an extended warranty, all for one low price.
Outfitting a lab or entire college department? No problem – there are many options available to you. Packages are offered with multiple printers (in various quantities), as well as site licenses for the included software programs. Depending on your requirements, we have a package as big or small as you may need. Complete with 3D scanners and replacement filament, these contain everything you need for your students to begin printing immediately.
What are these other items?
3D Scanner
The 3D scanner allows you to scan a physical object and print it out on your 3D printer. Available as stand alone product, as well as an iPad attachment, these are a great addition to any 3D printing system. Your students simply scan the item, and the software does the rest. They can literally scan a student's head, and print out a small statue.
Software packages
Several educational packages also include site licenses for powerful software programs, specifically designed for 3D printing.
Cubify Invent enables users of all levels to create 3D models on their computer, which they can then print on the Cube. You do not need to be an engineer, or have special training to create designs. 3D Systems created the Invent software to bring design to everyone. Its intuitive, user friendly interface is easy to navigate and made so that you can just turn it on and begin creating. It’s that easy.
Next, is the Cubify Sculpt software package. As its name implies, you literally sculpt with this program. Take a digital ball of clay, and form it to realize your vision. You can form anything you want, and when it is done, simply print it out on the Cube. Please see the video below for a visual demonstration.
Cubify Design is made for advanced 3D modeling. With Design, you can create precise parts using sophisticated design tools, and can even build moving, interlocking, and articulated items.
