"The Objet30 Scholar Package was developed to make Objet's 3D printing systems and solutions even more accessible to the strategically important education market," says Gilad Gans, Executive Vice President for Objet. "It provides students and faculties across multiple disciplines - particularly STEM curriculum studies - with increased opportunities to create and prototype advanced design ideas."

Tailor-made 3D printing solutions for the education market are a strategic objective of Objet. The company's 3D Printers have been adopted by many of the world's leading universities and research departments, including Virginia Tech, University of New Orleans, Art Center College of Design, Purdue University, and The Technion.

The package was designed with educators in mind allowing academic institutions to focus on creativity. It includes the Objet30 Scholar professional desktop 3D Printer; two or three year supply of rigid opaque 3D printing materials (Objet RGD240 rigid blue and support material) which Objet will store and deliver on-demand; a desktop Water-Jet system to remove the support material; training for users; maintenance of the 3D Printer; and technical support.
