The majority of our students are of ages 8-16 and our lessons provide information on how you can adapt the materials to suit segments within that range (e.g. 8-11, 12-16). Our content is also suitable for older age groups and adult learners getting started with 3D printing.
Many of users teach STEM or Design & Technology but we have lessons available for history, geography and more. We have seen great success with our site license users, where STEM teachers provide support and guidance for teachers in other subjects.
No prior knowledge of 3D design or 3D printing is required as our certification course takes you through a comprehensive training journey. Each lesson also acts as a professional development resource to broaden your knowledge on 3D printing applications.

Yes. The student portal access code allows 30 or 200 (depending on your license type) students on the platform at the same time. If you’re on our teacher license, you just need to plan who uses the student portal at any given time.
You can upgrade from a teacher license to a site license at anytime. In the unlikely event that you’re on a site license and require more than 200 simultaneous users, we can work out a bespoke upgrade. In both cases, just get in touch via email.

Our curriculum uses design tutorials in Tinkercad (browser-based) or Fusion 360 software. Both options are completely free for educators and have tools for classroom management. Tinkercad is generally where students start before progressing into Fusion 360.
