Specialists in 3D Printing and STEAM for education

06/10/2026

What could your students create if they had 3D printing technology in the classroom? 💡

The Creality K2 Plus gives schools a powerful platform for turning digital designs into physical objects – helping bring subjects such as Design & Technology, engineering and STEM to life.

From developing an initial idea to creating, testing and improving a physical part, 3D printing gives students an opportunity to experience the complete design process while developing practical problem-solving skills.

With a large build volume and the ability to work with a wide range of materials, there’s plenty of scope for students to experiment, prototype and bring ambitious ideas to life.

Introducing CREATE Insights.

Today we’re launching the first edition of a new series designed to turn some of the biggest challenges facing education into practical, evidence-led guidance for school leaders.

Issue 01: AI Readiness for Schools 2026 looks at a gap that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: AI is already part of everyday school life, but whole-school strategy, governance and staff confidence haven’t necessarily caught up.

🎬 3D Printing is Changing Movie Magic!

From monsters and movie props to life-size sculptures, 3D printing is transforming how special effects are designed and created.

Alliance Studio’s Steve Yang and Eddie Wang explain how moving from traditional clay sculpting to digital design and Raise3D Technologies printing has opened up exciting new creative possibilities.

With large build volumes, high resolution and reliable results at an affordable price, Raise3D proved to be a no-brainer investment for the studio.

What if students could 3D print with real silicone - and test a functional part, not just a visual prototype?

Stockwell Elastomerics is using Lynxter’s S300X silicone 3D printer to produce functional parts using real industrial materials, helping cut customer validation time by up to 6x.

The educational possibilities are huge:
🔹 Design
🔹 Materials science
🔹 Prototyping
🔹 Testing & iteration
🔹 Additive manufacturing
🔹 Engineering

Students could move from CAD → 3D print → test → improve → repeat, developing practical skills with technology already being used in demanding industries.

The future of engineering education is not just about learning how things work - it’s about giving students the tools to make, test and improve them.

💎 Can you 3D print the structure a gemstone grows around?

At UWE Bristol’s Centre for Print Research (CFPR), researchers are using Meltio wire-laser DED technology integrated into a HAAS 5-axis CNC machine to create bespoke platinum structures for growing sapphire and ruby crystals.

The team can pause the deposition process, position crystal seeds, continue building and then machine and refine the structure - bringing additive manufacturing, CNC machining, material science, jewellery design and crystal growth into one experimental workflow.

They’re also exploring how residual and waste crystal can be reused as seed material, turning existing material into the starting point for something new.

At the Nürburgring, Black Falcon uses SHINING 3D’s FreeScan Trak Nova to bring digital measurement into its everyday engineering workflow.

The technology can help engineers:
🔧 Inspect chassis and crash structures
📏 Verify repairs after an accident
🔍 Capture and document component geometry
⚙️ Support reverse engineering
💨 Create digital data for CFD and aerodynamic development

One example came after a major crash at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Once the car had been rebuilt, 3D scanning was used to check the repaired areas and help verify the geometry before the car returned to competition.

The bigger lesson? 3D scanning isn't just about taking measurements - it can turn a physical component into useful digital engineering data.
