Education is an exciting place to be at the moment, especially when you can learn all about the latest technologies, such as advanced additive manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n When Mark3D UK met with Darran Marks back in the summer of 2021 he had a dream of delivering something special to New College Swindon, its students, and the local employers who used it for training their staff. <\/span><\/p>\n New College Swindon is one of 21 Educational Collaborations, consisting of FE and HE Institutions in the UK to have been given the go ahead from the Department of Education to launch an Institute of Technology. Opening its doors in September 2022 the IoT offers a wide range of courses in Engineering and Construction, Digital and Computing, Science and Health, Creative Media and Business Management. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

“Learning by doing”<\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>3D printing offers a wealth of opportunities to enhance science, technology, engineering, art, and maths skills, as well as design. To present students with practical challenges, they are confronted with a hands-on approach to problem solving. <\/span><\/p>\n With Markforged’s 3D printing solutions and Mark3D as your education partner, students develop hands-on skills supported by resources that inspire and help keep you running. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Improve Learning<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>Markforged 3D printers can already be found in almost all areas of the education industry:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Research institutes<\/li>\n
- Universities and Colleges<\/li>\n
- Technical Schools<\/li>\n
- High Schools<\/li>\n
- elementary schools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

Colleges and Universities<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div> What does it take to attract the best students and staff to your own college? State-of-the-art technologies and equipment are definitely an important step in the right direction. With Markforged 3D printers, students can gain critical academic experience, create cross-departmental collaboration, and even encourage student entrepreneurship. Markforged solutions generate real excitement and problem-solving skills that can move an entire campus. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Technical Colleges<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div> Experts predict that over the next decade, a shortage of skilled workers could result in the production of more than 2 million jobs. Worldwide, manufacturers rely on technical schools to develop programs that attract and retain talented students and prepare them to work in advanced technology areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

3D printing is already everywhere <\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div> Nothing conveys an idea better than holding it in your hand. 3D printing is an effective way to enhance learning. Numerous industrial companies and smaller medium-sized companies are already producing prototypes and small series with 3D printers. <\/span><\/p>\n In today’s highly competitive and competitive labor market, students and students gain first-hand experience with professional 3D printers, a real advantage. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Markforged benefits for 3D printing<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>Focus on Learning<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Print fast and inexpensively<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div> Many Markforged 3D printers use turbo-print mode to create design concepts quickly and economically. Now you can print twice as fast as in standard mode, consuming on average only one third of the material – and without sacrificing surface quality or sacrificing resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n Choose onyx for printing. Onyx is a engineering thermoplastic that delivers stiff, strong and precise parts. Alone, the material is already 1.4 times stiffer than ABS and can also be reinforced with any continuous fibre. Onyx raises the bar in surface texture, chemical resistance and heat tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Simple and intuitive for educators & students<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div>Markforged 3D printers are easy and intuitive to use. We can provide you with a 3D printer that supports almost every requirement of your curriculum. The Markforged 3D printers can be used directly in the classroom or lecture hall.<\/span><\/p>\nYour advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Special rates for use in classrooms, research laboratories, Fab Labs and nonprofit organizations
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Access to free online resources from Markforged Additive Manufacturing University, such as design guides, tips and tricks, videos and more.
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- First sponsorship opportunities for robotics and SAE<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
(Almost) unlimited possibilities<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/h2><\/div> Markforged 3D printers offer a number of different options. Through the use of different composite materials such as glass fibre, carbon fibre, Kevlar, HSHT fibre glass, the components can be produced with different strengths.<\/span><\/p>\nDue to the almost unlimited possibilities of component production, the creativity of schools & students are encouraged and moreover finding solutions to problems is encouraged.
