3 Design Editors

Younger students create in 3D with freeform Shaper and voxel block-by-block Blocker design editors. Older students use the new Advanced editor to sketch designs in 2D and then extrude them into 3D.

Built In Tools

The Training Lab houses helpful videos and basic and pro tutorials, the Augmented Reality (AR) tool lets students test designs in place-based contexts and the print check tool scans 3D designs for possible errors.

Teacher Dashboard

The Teacher Dashboard makes it easy to plan, teach and assess student work against the curriculum with guided on boarding, class management, custom tasks, PD,  print manager, and assessment tools.

This is a great design and creation tool that teachers and students can use to be innovative and share ideas with a vibrant community of makers. With Makers Empire, students learn how to identify needs and opportunities and then create, prototype, test and refine designs of solutions using 3D printing

This is the true value of software. It can provide a platform for students who are enthusiastic to keep learning after the school bell rings. The addition of the Australian Curriculum aligned challenges is fantastic. Giving feedback to students and rewarding great work is very easy using the assessment tools.
