Webinar Recording: Choosing a safe 3D printer for your classroom

Felipe Castaneda

April 27, 2026

3D printing is becoming more common in schools but many printers were originally designed for hobbyists or professional workshops, not classrooms.

Not all 3D printers are built for schools. Learn how to evaluate safety, certifications, and classroom readiness—before you bring one into your learning environment. If you’ve started looking into 3D printers for your classroom, you’ve probably noticed that there are a lot of options. And on the surface, many of them look pretty similar.

But when it comes to classroom use, there are a few key differences that really matter, especially when safety is part of the equation.

In this session, you’ll explore:

  • What “safety” actually means in a classroom setting
  • The 4 key areas to look at when comparing 3D printers
  • Why standards like UL 2904 matter for schools
  • What to consider beyond hardware—including software and student workflows

Hosts:

Andrea Zermeno, Education Manager

Makeathons combine creativity, collaboration, and technology in a way that inspires every kind of learner — and with 3D printing, the possibilities for student innovation are endless.
