MOUNT PROSPECT, Illinois (PRWEB) May 11, 2016 -- As schools expand “making” beyond traditional interactive technologies, Dremel, the trusted manufacturer of tools for life and learning, introduces the Dremel 3D mobile application. The app equips students with anytime, anywhere modeling and printing as a part of the classroom makerspace toolkit.
Compatible with the newly launched Dremel Idea Builder 3D40, the Dremel 3D mobile app provides constant communication with the next-generation printer. Students and educators can access a library of 3D models, queue printing of multiple models and monitor printing status remotely from their mobile devices.
“By adding a new level of connectivity for students and makers, this first-of-its-kind app broadens the horizons of 3D printing in the classroom,” said George Velez, manager, Dremel 3D Education. “We want educators and students to have multiple access points to 3D printing as classroom technology continues to evolve.”
Previously available for pre-order, the Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 is now fully available for purchase. Users can download the Dremel 3D mobile app for the printer on iOS and Android devices.
The Dremel 3D mobile app enables users to browse the Dremel 3D gallery and save designs to their personal 3D library. Selected models for printing are optimized for build quality by cloud processing servers, requiring no additional user modification. Users can select a Dremel Idea Builder prepared with filament and leveled for printing to build and monitor their models. The Dremel 3D mobile app sends important updates and notifications during remote printing to ensure a successful build.
As a part of the Dremel Dreams 3D printing ecosystem, educators can use the mobile app to prepare 3D lessons plans and models in the classroom and beyond. The Dremel Dreams program also includes 3D-specific lesson plans, Autodesk printing software and one-on-one customer support, available with the Dremel Idea Builder 3D40.
The Dremel 3D mobile app and Dremel Idea Builder 3D40 are available now. To learn more, visit https://3dprinter.dremel.com/3d40-edu-printer-benefits.
