PrintLab International, a global distributor of 3D printing products based in the UK, is today announcing the launch of a complete & affordable 3D printing starter bundle for schools.

The EinStart-C is an elegant desktop 3D printer that is perfect for education. Fully-enclosed for safety and benefiting from automatic bed levelling, wireless network connection and a colour touch screen interface. The simple plug and play experience, coupled with increased speed and quality gives educators a tool that is unparalleled at this price point.
Nick Mayor, Co-founder of PrintLab believes ‘3D printing will continue to have a major impact on every industry that embraces it and with this, comes the need to prepare young people for their future careers. Throughout the development of the PrintLab educational ecosystem, teachers have been absolutely instrumental. By collaborating with teachers, we identified that although there is a growing amount of curriculum available, there is a real lack of support, assistance and training for the teachers themselves. Our goal was to develop a solution that focuses directly on supporting teachers. The 160 page handbook is essentially a curriculum for teachers. As well as tying every aspect of the ecosystem together, it leads educators through a journey of training activities to build up the knowledge and confidence required to teach 3D printing in the classroom’.
