Every classroom deserves a 3D printer.
Teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools apply. Donors fund the equipment. We buy it, deliver it, and show you what students make with it.

How it works
- 01
A teacher applies
Tell us about your students, what they will build, and which package you need. It takes about 15 minutes.
- 02
We review
We score every application on need, student reach, and the plan, and confirm it with your principal.
- 03
Donors fund it
Approved classrooms are funded from our general fund or by a donor or sponsor who picks your classroom.
- 04
We buy and deliver
We purchase the equipment ourselves and ship it to your school. No cash changes hands.
- 05
Students make things
After 90 days you send a few photos of student work and a short note. We share it with the people who paid for it.
What we fund
Four fixed packages, so every dollar has a clear destination and we can buy in bulk.
Starter printer
A teacher getting started with 3D printing in one class.
or $50/mo for 12 months
- One classroom-friendly 3D printer
- 10 kg of PLA filament
- Spare nozzles, build plate, and basic tools
Classroom lab
A teacher running printing projects across several sections.
or $150/mo for 12 months
- Two 3D printers
- 25 kg of PLA filament
- Safety gear, spare parts, and a starter lesson guide
Materials refill
Classrooms that already have a printer but no budget to run it.
or $17/mo for 12 months
- Filament and consumables for one semester
- Replacement nozzles and build surfaces
STEM kit set
Hands-on engineering beyond printing.
or $83/mo for 12 months

- Matched to the grade level in the application
Costs are planning estimates. We ask vendors for education pricing and confirm real costs at purchase.
Teachers, this is for you.
If your students would design, prototype, and build with the right tools, apply. You don't need any 3D printing experience. Every package includes setup help.
