3D Printing Education
The new education modules, available only to Stratasys customers, are designed for educators to take students through a full product development life cycle, from concept sketch to CAD design and finally 3D print. Modules are unique and each one focuses on a specific project with various durations from days to weeks. These modules are created with a comprehensive outline with an overall objective, project resources, design criteria and process.

Tech-Labs is one of the few platinum distributors for Stratasys, a pioneer in 3D technology and one of the largest suppliers of 3D printers in the world. Tech-Labs is also a full-service provider of educational equipment and software, distributing robotics, e-learning and heavy equipment simulators.

Shutting Down Your 3D Printer
It is required to shut down your PolyJet machine if it will not be used for a week or more to prevent clogging of the printer heads. Otherwise, the printer can remain on, in Idle mode. Unlike a PolyJet machine, shutting down an FDM 3D printer is not necessary when it will not be used for an extended period of time; however, it is an easy 3-step process that takes just a few minutes and is a great way to conserve energy.
