MakerBot® Sketch 3D Printer

Product Description

The MakerBot Sketch 3D Printer brings hands-on learning, accessible technology, and educator support together in a single-printer setup. Designed to help teachers introduce 3D printing into their lessons, the Sketch gives students a practical way to turn ideas into physical models while building creative and problem-solving skills.

With over 15 hours of online student curriculum and access to more than 600 certified lesson plans from educators across the country, you don't have to build your program from scratch. Self-paced, ISTE-certified training for one teacher and five students helps your classroom get started with confidence.

MakerBot Cloud offers cloud-based file management and print queuing, making it easy to organize student projects, whether you're in the classroom or supporting learning from home. Its integration with Tinkercad and Fusion 360 bridges the gap between digital design and physical results. Begin with a lesson, guide your students through their models, and easily queue their projects for printing, all within an educational workflow.
