3D Printers in Schools Survey | For Teachers, School Leaders and ITC Staff

At Makers Empire, we only recommend 3D printers that are of the highest quality and easy to use. We’ve spent more than five years testing, reviewing and selling 3D printers of all shapes and sizes, and then helping our teachers and customers troubleshoot their 3D printer issues.

We’re now on the journey of designing and building the world’s best 3D printer for primary and middle schools. We’re using everything we’ve learned to create the 3D printer that can best serve the needs of primary and middle school educators.

Now we want to understand what is most important to you in a 3D printer so we can create a 3D printer designed specifically for you and your needs.

Thanks for taking the time to complete this Makers Empire survey. If you submit your completed survey by 15 February 2020, you will go into the draw to win of three $50 Amazon gift vouchers.
