Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 27, 2016 -- CDI, one of North America’s leading providers of education-ready technology solutions, has partnered with Bosch and announced the release of 3D printers designed specifically for K-12 classrooms. The 3D printers are the newest addition to CDI’s well established lineup of hardware and software products built exclusively for education.

Each year, we work with over 4,000 school districts and other educational institutions in the United States. In the last 12 months the one product they consistently inquired about was 3D printers.
