Description
MakerBot Replicator won the best 3D printer for schools 2017 . Thats because no other 3D printing manufacturer has invested so heavily in building a dedicated ecosystem for the education space.
Taking the printer in isolation we have a device with safety features optimized for the classroom. Theres a removable flexible bed that isnt heated; an extruder where the hot-end is out of reach of curious fingers; and a semi-enclosed build-space that protects the build area from foreign objects.
Moreover theres a cloud-based slicing option where a model can be selected on Thingiverse and sent directly to the Replicator via a dedicated smartphone app. Everything can be monitored on your smartphone.
But the icing on the cake are the tools around it; a dedicated education space on Thingiverse with STEM projects to make learning fun plus an educators handbook to help teachers with core concepts around 3D modeling and printing. The company will even help you find grants to fund a MakerBot in your classroom.
