MakerBot SKETCH Sprint FDM 3D Printer with 250mm/s Print Speed
The MakerBot SKETCH Sprint is designed to revolutionize classroom 3D printing with print speeds of 250 mm/s (up to 300 mm/s), reaching travel speeds of 600 mm/s. That's 5 times faster than standard desktop 3D printers, allowing educators to maximize class time and enable students to participate in more hands-on learning projects. Built with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, this industrial-grade tool supports PLA and Tough PLA materials, making it ideal for STEM education, design thinking, and prototyping in classrooms and labs across Australia.
