Empowering Students Through Real-World 3D Creation
At 3D Printing Academy, we believe learning should be active, exciting, and meaningful.
Our Hands-On Learning programme brings 3D design and manufacturing directly into classrooms, clubs, and youth environments, giving students the chance to transform ideas into real, tangible creations.
Designed for primary, secondary, FE colleges, universities, and youth programmes, our sessions provide a high-value educational experience that aligns with curriculum objectives and government-approved digital-skills frameworks.
A Practical, Skills-Focused Approach
Students learn by doing, not just watching.
Through guided tutorials and structured activities, learners:
- Design their own models using intuitive 3D software
- Operate modern desktop 3D printers safely and confidently
- Develop creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial awareness
- Bring home a completed 3D-printed project after every cycle
This approach is ideal for developing STEM/STEAM competencies, meeting Ofsted-aligned enrichment requirements, and raising engagement levels across all age groups.
