Our Fastest Classroom 3D Printer

Fast Prints, More Output

• With its compact design and impressive speed—5 times faster than standard 3D printers—educators can easily incorporate 3D printing into more than ever before.
• Maximize Class Time: Quickly transition from design to printing, allowing more projects to be completed within class periods.
• 3D Printing Across Grade Levels: Fast printing opens doors to hands-on projects across multiple subjects and grade levels, making 3D printing accessible schoolwide.
• Experiment with Ideas Fast: The ability to quickly print prototypes means students can iterate on their designs more freely

Speed Without Compromising Quality

• Sketch Sprint doesn’t sacrifice quality when it comes to speed. Designed to deliver detailed and precise prints, you get the best of both worlds when it comes to this printer.
• Smooth Prints, Every Time: Produces smooth and refined surface finishes, reducing visible layer lines for cleaner, more polished prints.
• Quality Prints with Cura: Utilizing Cura, the leading slicer software in 3D printing, ensures efficient slicing and optimized settings for high-quality, consistent prints.
• Dependable Performance: Count on the Sketch Sprint for consistent results in fast-paced learning environments, ensuring reliable operation day in and day out.

Making 3D Printing Even More Efficient

• The Sketch Sprint combines advanced features with a user-friendly design to enhance reliability and make 3D printing workflows more efficient.
• Material Savings: Raft-free printing means using on average 20% less filament per print.
• User-Friendly Adjustments: Easily make live Z-adjustments during printing to correct print adhesion issues in real time, minimizing the need for reprints.
• Quick Filament Change: Clip the existing filament and load a new spool without waiting for the printer to heat up, keeping projects moving swiftly.
• Compact Size, Full Potential: Easy to carry and move between classrooms, the Sketch Sprint’s compact design makes it perfect for shared spaces.
• No Rafts Necessary: Skip rafts to reduce print time and waste. The Sketch Sprint ensures prints adhere securely to the heated build plate.
• Live Z-adjustments: Adjust the Z-axis in real-time during printing to fine-tune your prints without canceling the job.
• Quick Filament Change: Streamline the filament loading process—clip the loaded filament and load a new spool without waiting for the printer to heat up.
• Mesh Leveling: Achieve consistent accuracy with mesh leveling, a leveling process that compensates for height variations across the build plate.
• High-Speed Printing Capability: Capable of printing at speeds up to 250 mm/s with travel speeds up to 600 mm/s.

Safe, Reliable, and Classroom-Ready

Safety at the Core of Innovation

• Experience a safe and reliable 3D printing solution, designed for classrooms with advanced safety features and user-friendly operation, ensuring peace of mind for educators and students.
• Designed with a fully enclosed structure and safety lock features, the Sketch Sprint ensures a secure printing environment, giving teachers peace of mind as students explore the world of 3D printing.

Comprehensive Safety Design

• Safety is prioritized with a fully enclosed design that creates a secure printing environment for students, minimizing risks during operation.
• Safety Locks: Our Printer Lock feature lets teachers control who can use the printer, keeping it safe and restricted to authorized users.
• Fully Enclosed Design: The fully enclosed structure reduces the risk of accidents and keeps hands safely away from moving parts and hot components.
• Robust Build: A well-built structure helps minimize noise and distractions, creating a better classroom environment that is conducive to learning.

Classroom-Friendly Filament & Filtration

• Utilizing classroom-friendly filament and an integrated HEPA filtration system helps maintain clean air quality, promoting a safe learning atmosphere.
• Safe Filament Options: PLA and Tough filaments are designed with classroom use in mind, ensuring safety and ease of handling.
• Integrated HEPA Filtration: The HEPA filtration system captures airborne particles and odors, enhancing indoor air quality during 3D printing.
• Carbon Filter for Emission Control: An additional carbon filter further reduces harmful emissions, contributing to a healthier learning space that meets indoor safety standards.
