The Ultimaker Design Engine Starter Pack!
September 01, 2017
Why is it that so many 3D printing-powered education projects rely heavily on downloading and printing someone else's creations? For the 2017 back to school season, the Ultimaker North American Community Team has constructed a game that puts the power of design back in your hands. Presenting the Ultimaker Design Engine Starter Pack: a game created to provoke, inspire, and entertain students, educators, 3D designers, artists, and engineers of all experience levels!
The Starter Pack can be used to generate scores of new projects, fueling a deeper exploration into the use of desktop 3D printers. For educators, students, and 3D designers of all backgrounds, the Starter Pack is both a handy icebreaker and a challenging activity that sparks creativity.
In collaboration with Shop3D.ca, Ultimaker will offer a free Ultimaker Design Engine Starter Pack for every new machine ordered by a school, library or makerspace from September 1st to December 31st, 2017 (or until Starter Pack supplies run out)*.
Not picking up a new Ultimaker this season? There are other opportunities to experience the Starter Pack at public events organized by the North American reseller partners and the Ultimaker North America Community Team at education workshops and other events we attend and host.
Look out for upcoming events where you can join us for a round with the Ultimaker Design Engine Starter Pack or request our contact us to host an event at your school/makerspace!
