Reviews | Dremel’s 3D20 and 3D40 Idea Builders: 3D Printing for the K-12 Classroom

11/29/2016

Over the past year I have had the opportunity to review both of Dremel’s 3D printer offerings for K-12 classrooms. I was able to to test out both the 3D20 and 3D40 Idea Builder printers with my preservice teachers and I was consistently impressed with the quality and ease of use from both of these printers. If you’re in the market for a 3D printer for any K-12 environment, I absolutely recommend considering the 3D20 or the 3D40.  

​You can find more details and our complete reviews of both printers below.

Reviews | Dremel Idea Builder 3D40: 3D Printing for K-12 Classrooms

A few months back I had the opportunity to review Dremel’s new 3D20 Idea Builder printer and it turned out to be an excellent product. This month, Dremel sent me their larger 3D40 model to check out.  Much like the 3D20, the 3D40 proved to be an excellent tool and survived weeks of constant printing from the preservice teachers I work with.  

​But beyond that, Dremel continues to show that they have designed their printers with K-12 education in mind. You can read the complete review on our Review's Page.
