MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers are used in more than 5,000 schools throughout the U.S. The Whitby School, in Greenwich, CT, uses MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers in the school’s Design Technology classroom to spark an interest in 3D printing and teach problem solving and design thinking. At the State University of New York at New Paltz, a MakerBot Innovation Center has had a profound impact on students, faculty, and the community in its first year. The university quickly forged public-private partnerships with industry leaders to create a vibrant cross-departmental learning commons and innovation hub that serves both students and the local business community in unprecedented ways.
