3D Printing for Career & Technical Education

Give your students a head start in advanced manufacturing. Stratasys additive technology helps technical schools teach real-world skills, prepare learners for certification, and close the skills gap – all within your existing curriculum.

Why Integrate 3D Printing into CTE Programs?

Education Industry

Train the workforce of tomorrow

Industry demand for additive skills is rising fast. Prepare students for careers in manufacturing, design, and engineering with the same 3D printing technologies used by top employers.

Hands-on, industry-aligned learning

Move from classroom theory to practical experience. Students learn to design, print, and test parts, developing problem-solving and production skills in one workflow.

Affordable and supported adoption

Stratasys offers education packages and financing designed for technical schools, complete with certified materials, lesson plans, and local reseller support.

Pathways to certification

Establish a NOCTI-accredited curriculum and help students earn credentials that boost employability and open doors to higher-wage jobs.
