Hi Mark,
We currently run 5 3D printers.
4 x UP! Desktop 3D Printers - single colour, easy for students to use and set up.
1 x Bits from Bytes 3 head 3D printer - a bit fussier to set up and run, however far better resolution and the ability to run 3 separate colours can sometimes really bring that component to life.

Hi Systems Teachers,

I am seeking your thoughts and experiences on 3d printers.

We are considering purchasing a 3D printer for use in Systems Engineering to model small plastic pieces such as gears and links. Are any schools using a 3d printer? Can anyone recommend an easy to use and reasonably priced machine. 

Many thanks,

Mark Tory
