Daniel's 3D Printing class has completed the City That Zortrax Built!This summer class was at Timber Lake Camp in the Catskills with the campers creating their and printing their own designs on a Zortrax M200 3D Printer: http://www.timberlakecamp.com/ It was a real pleasure to help Daniel guide his 3D Printing class through this project and follow his progress. Profound 3D loves to support 3D printer use in schools/clubs. We offer special discounts to help support 3D Printer use in education - please contact us for more information on a custom package with a Zortrax, CraftBot, Raise3D, Makerbot, Afinia or one...
