Mcor 3D printers play critical role in solution to make 3D technology more accessible to students
Monday 03. June 2013 - MCOR TECHNOLOGIES' RESELLING PARTNER, BL 3DIMENSION CORP, LAUNCHES '3D EDULAB,' COMPLETE END-TO-END 3D SOLUTION FOR EDUCATION
Mcor Technologies Ltd, manufacturer of the only line of desktop paper 3D printers, announced today that its Chicago-based reselling partner, BL 3Dimension Corporation, has launched 3D EduLab, a complete turnkey input-to-output 3D solution for schools.
Located in BL 3Dimension’s Innovation Lab, 3D EduLab includes all of the input and output hardware and software, installation, training, support, ongoing maintenance, and even the curriculum and classroom space necessary to make 3D technology widely accessible to instructors and students.
Mcor’s line of 3D printers are a core component of 3D EduLab, providing the lowest cost, safest and most eco-friendly 3D printers in the world, so entire classrooms and departments of students can quickly, easily, safely and inexpensively produce professional-quality physical 3D models. Because they use common office paper, water-based adhesive and ink, Mcor 3D printers are ideal for the classroom. There are no chemicals, fumes or sharp cutting tools. And since they can print in full, photorealistic color, Mcor 3D printers can foster students’ design skills across various departments, from product design and engineering to architecture, medical and fine arts.
“To my knowledge, 3D EduLab is the first turnkey 3D solution of it’s kind for the Education market,” said Kevin Braden, President of BL 3Dimension. “3D EduLab brings us another step closer to our mission of being the leading provider of 3D printing and scanning solutions in the Midwest.”
“Schools at all levels, from middle schools, high schools, vocational technical institutions to major universities, are using Mcor’s low cost, full color 3D printers as a critical part of their curricula to excite students, enrich learning and encourage advancement by enabling students to transform their ideas into physical 3D printed models that they can hold in their hands,” said Dr. Conor MacCormack, Co-founder and CEO of Mcor Technologies. “BL 3Dimension is filling a much-needed void by including our highly accessible 3D printing technology into a comprehensive, solution-based offering for schools.”
The launch of 3D EduLab comes on the heels of BL 3Dimension’s recent and significant expansion into several new territories.
