3D Printing
3D printing is an innovative technology that transforms digital models into real, three-dimensional objects. Beginning with "rapid prototyping (RP)" in the 1980s, it has now evolved to be able to create almost anything imaginable.

Ultimaker Pioneer Program
In the United States, over 100 educators participate in this program, sharing their experiences in 3D printing education. We aim to expand this activity globally, fostering learning and collaboration among educators.

We are looking for proactive educators who want to learn and teach 3D printing. Utilize Ultimaker printers to help students develop creativity and skills in a wide range of fields, from mathematics to art.
