“The printers have helped us broaden the scope of projects coming through our centre and provided much-added value for students as they develop their prototypes.”

Malcolm Cooke Professor of Engineering Case Western Reserve

From Classroom to Career: 3D Printing for Higher Education

Bring professional additive manufacturing to your college or university. Re-energize courses, inspire research, and prepare students for the next generation of industry and innovation — all without rewriting your syllabus

Why Integrate 3D Printing into College Programs?

Education Industry

Engage students

Make theory tangible. 3D printing brings design, prototyping, and problem-solving to life across disciplines from engineering and architecture to art and medicine.

Boost employability

Equip students with skills employers and graduate programs value: design thinking, CAD/CAM proficiency, and hands-on experience with industry-grade additive technologies.

Affordable, scalable access

Stratasys education packages make adoption practical for universities of any size, with flexible pricing, curriculum resources, and reliable support.

Bridge education and industry

Connect your students and faculty with the same tools used by leading manufacturers and research institutions worldwide. Build collaborations that strengthen your institution’s innovation ecosystem.
