Mike Edwards, D&T Technician and H&S Consultant

I would like to say a big thank you to Sonya for increasing my enthusiasm in 3D printing at a recent event at Renishaw and also to Michelle for a very fast, efficient and helpful service during our recent purchase.

Omar Salem, F1 in Schools TEAM FM^-1

CREATE Education has allowed us to overcome challenges, reach goals and achieve dreams that would not have been possible without their continuous help and support!

Lloyd Griffith, DT Teacher at Newport High School

The technology of 3D printing makes higher marking bands accessible for learners. It enables learners to utilise another process of manufacturing their designs. Due to the ease in which the machines operate, learners can independently design on many CAD platforms and print their own ideas.

Amanda Bennett, Green Park School and The Atkinson Museum

Sonya’s session is really inspiring and I came away with lots of ideas of how the Ultimaker could be used in school. Sonya provides lots of information, not just about how to design and use the printer, but also how to download pre-designed objects that can be printed for use in schools...

Ben Tipton, Sacred Heart RC Primary School

In a word… awesome! Since we took ownership of or Ultimaker 2 (3 years ago), the 3D printer at Sacred Heart has grabbed the interest of lots of students, we display it in a central part of school and we regularly have a group of students huddled around it discussing what it...
