<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I purchased two Ultimakers this year. Ultimaker 3d printers come as a flat pack kit that you build (not such a simple task, though here’s a cute video of some Dutch primary school kids making it happen
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elp1FeZpqFQ&feature=youtu.be">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elp1FeZpqFQ&feature=youtu.be</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">There are plenty of options available, ranging from around $1000 upwards. I chose Ultimaker because it is an open sourced system (so I can buy PLA from any source, or use ABS and customise the machine as I go
along to suit my needs, it also means I have a lot more control over build speed, wall thickness and density of the print).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Up, Makerbot and Leapfrog are also worth looking at. If you’re thinking about it for the future, I would say put it in your budget proposals now! It took me a while to get funding approval.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Prior to this I had been getting 3d printing jobs outsourced but this was really costly and meant that students were a bit too removed from the process (i.e. they couldn’t see it happening).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking at purchasing a 3d printer for the school and incorporating it into the Technology Art, Vis Comm & Maths curriculum.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are running ProDesktop CAD at the moment but are hoping to upgrade to Pro Engineer/Creo in the near future.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help or recommendations on this subject would be welcome. If you have any amazing projects that you are doing with the students and would be happy to share we would love some inspiration.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you<o:p></o:p></p>
