PrintLab Classroom is an online platform of 3D printing lesson plans combined with a certified teacher training course. Our approach is to take inspiration from the innovative uses of 3D printing in industry and bring these through to education. The curriculum is aligned to a range of standards across different subject areas and challenges students to design assistive technology, reusable packaging prototypes, hands-free virus solutions and more.
Our online toolkit allows you to pick and choose from 40+ projects to build your own pathway for students - saving you the time and stress of creating your own lesson plans. Each project is equipped with downloadable teaching materials such as presentations, workbooks and rubrics, as well as explainer videos and 3D design tutorials hosted on a student portal for a blended learning experience.

It’s not just schools we support - libraries and makerspaces can provide members of all ages with access to our student portal, allowing them to work through exciting, self-paced courses and projects. The impact of this is sure to increase 3D printer usage and footfall in any creative organisation.
