3D Printer for Engineering Classroom
Verified Non-Profit
$600

The Description
With these funds I will be able to purchase a 3D printer for my Engineering classroom. This is a new program in our junior high school through Project Lead the Way, and we are trying to bring STEM careers to our students. West ISD was rocked by a fertilizer explosion in April 2013 that destroyed most of the school facilities. While the schools are being rebuilt, we are trying to bring STEM education to a rural town. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This program will move up with the students, so it has the ability in future years to serve as many as 400 students.
The printer we are wanting to buy is a PolyPrinter 229. This printer has a 9x9x9 capacity. The PolyPrinter 229 comes with: ● Webcam & Camera Light (for observing your active prints remotely) ● Startup Kit (1 kg of 1.75mm ABS filament, oil, squeegee, part lifter, brass brush, power/USB/camera cord). The cost includes 2 hours of training as well as a maintenance kit to make sure the unit stays in good working with order.
Thank you so much for considering our project.
Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase additional engineering equipment for the students to use in robotics and automation classes.
