As part of GE’s Additive Education Program, GE Additive will offer 3D printers to more than 400 schools, reaching more than 180,000 students across the world. An initiative that will help streamline the use this technology in education.
General Electric is no stranger to additive manufacturing, having already invested several million dollars in its development- recently announcing an investment of more than €100 million in the expansion of Concept Laser. The company is now continuing with their commitment to this technology through education, offering desktop polymer printer packages to around 400 primary and secondary schools and a metal 3D printer to eight colleges and universities.
The package for the primary and secondary schools will include two Polar Cloud-enabled polymer printers, the Polar 3D printer and the XYZprinting printer. In addition, they will also receive Polar 3D’s STEAMtrax curriculum with a two-year license, six rolls of filament for each printer and one of the STEAMtrax module kits called “Tinkering with Turbines.” The countries where the schools are located who will receive these packages includes the United States, Canada, China, Germany, India, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
