Fast Prints and More Output with the Sketch Sprint 3D Printer
With the MakerBot Sketch Sprint's compact design and impressive speed of up to 5 times faster than standard 3D printers, educators can easily bring 3D printing to even more students and classrooms.
These new speeds allow teachers to maximize class time by quickly transitioning from design thinking to 3D printing. This gives them the ability to complete more of their student's projects within their class periods.
Faster 3D printing opens so many more doors to hands-on projects across multiple subjects and grade levels, making 3D printing accessible schoolwide. With the MakerBot Sketch's faster print speeds, more students can see their ideas come to life in a much more timely manner!
Making 3D Printing Even More Efficient
The Sketch Sprint combines advanced features with a user-friendly design to enhance reliability and make 3D printing workflows more efficient.
Raft-free printing means using on average 20% less filament per print, saving you time and money for working on future projects.
The Sketch Sprint also offers a quick filament change, where you simply clip the existing filament and load a new spool without waiting for the printer to heat up, which keeps your classroom and student projects moving along swiftly.
it's compact size makes the MakerBot Sketch Sprint easy to carry around and move between classrooms. The Sketch Sprint's compact design makes it perfect for shared spaces in classrooms, libraries, makerspaces and more.
