Bringing projects to life
KONICA Minolta is a market leading provider of integrated print hardware, software and solutions.
3D printing is fast becoming an invaluable skill with the growing importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in schools.
The radical new benefits of 3D printing include; speed, cost-effective fabrication of physical models, prototypes and finished products, as well as the ability to design complex geometries with an ever increasing variety of materials.
Not only does the technology enhance existing school learning material, it helps shape the student learning experience with visually rich model creation.
“Being able to print their visions in full colour 3D has brought the project to life for the students,” Marist College Ashgrove ITD coordinator and Montagne Residence senior supervisor Andrew Devoy said.
“This is the next generation of manufacturers, designers, and engineers, so we’re giving them the best possible start.
“It lets teachers deliver information in a new way, transforming learning outcomes.”
“This more than adequately bridges the gap between secondary and tertiary education.”
Konica Minolta has a support centric infrastructure and offers tailored solutions for teachers and educators to adopt 3D printing projects, with advanced servicing, logistics, training and financing options.
3D printing in education is a vehicle for building the next generation of designers, builders and innovators of tomorrow.
Konica Minolta technology ensures classrooms remain at the forefront of 3D printing.
