MakerBot® Sketch Sprint 3D Printer

Product Description

The MakerBot Sketch Sprint 3D Printer brings fast, hands-on learning to the classroom, helping educators turn student ideas into tangible projects. With print speeds up to 300 mm/s and travel speeds up to 600 mm/s, the Sketch Sprint keeps projects moving so students can spend more time exploring, testing, and refining their designs.

The Sketch Sprint is designed to make 3D printing accessible and user-friendly. It includes easy-to-use features along with resources for teacher support and certification. The mesh leveling feature adjusts for variations across the build plate, while live Z-adjustments allow for fine-tuning during the printing process. Additionally, the heated PEI build surface ensures secure adhesion without the need for rafts, helping to reduce both print time and material waste.

From a student's first model to a classroom design challenge, the Sketch Sprint supports a straightforward workflow with PLA and Tough PLA. Prepare projects with Digital Factory and Cura Cloud, then bring them to life inside a fully enclosed printer designed to limit access to moving parts and hot surfaces.

The Sketch Sprint has a build volume of 220 x 220 x 220 mm (8.66 x 8.66 x 8.66 in).

Features

Fast Printing for Busy Classrooms
Keep student projects moving with print speeds up to 300 mm/s and travel speeds up to 600 mm/s. Faster output helps educators fit more hands-on design opportunities into their lessons.

Skip the Rafts
Print directly on the heated build plate without adding a raft. Secure adhesion helps reduce material use and print time, leaving less waste between students and their finished projects.

Consistent First-Layer Setup
Mesh leveling compensates for height variations across the build plate to support consistent printing. Live Z-adjustments provide additional control for fine-tuning the print process.

Designed for Educational Environments
The fully enclosed structure helps protect students from moving parts and reduces exposure to hot surfaces. The Sketch Sprint is UL-listed and meets UL 2904 standards for particle and chemical emissions from 3D printers.

Support for Teachers and Students
Bring 3D printing into your lessons with an approachable workflow and educator support. Included teacher and student certifications help build confidence with the equipment while supporting practical design and problem-solving skills.
