Z Corporation Inspires Students with ‘3D Printer Stimulus Package’ for Schools

By DE Editors

Z Corporation (Burlington, MA)  unveiled a “3D Printer Stimulus Package” for schools in the United States and Canada. The 3D Printer Stimulus Package includes grants of up to $10,000 for devices from ZCorp, giving qualified K-12, vocational technical schools and two-year colleges eligibility to receive the following (as listed in press materials):

• A $4,000 grant for the ZPrinter 310 Plus monochrome 3D printer;
• A $10,000 grant for the ZPrinter 450 multicolor 3D printer;
• A free consumables starter kit with the ZPrinter 310 Plus
• An extended one-year warranty
 

  By offering the $4,000 grant, ZCorp is essentially lowering the price of the ZPrinter 310 Plus to $15,900. One package is designed so that 70 students can build a baseball-size 3D model. The $10,000 grant drops the ZPrinter 450 multicolor 3D printer price to $29,900.

  The concept behind the 3D Printer Stimulus Package is to allow schools on tight budgets to afford the ZPrinter and use it throughout the year, making it possible for more students to build more models at high speed.
