MakerBot Cloud’s Integration with Google for
Education Further Streamlines 3D Printing for Teachers and
Students
MakerBot, a global leader in 3D printing and subsidiary of
Stratasys (Nasdaq: SSYS), joins the Google for Education Integrated
Solutions Initiative to deliver an even more powerful 3D printing
experience for teachers and students.
The MakerBot Cloud™ platform, MakerBot’s print preparation and
management solution, is now integrated with Google for Education to
provide educators and students with an easy 3D printing workflow.
One of the key challenges that teachers face when using 3D printers
as a learning tool is how to best manage student submissions and
print files. MakerBot Cloud enables educators to easily share,
approve, queue, and print directly to MakerBot 3D printers. Whether
they’re at home or in the classroom, teachers can access their
students’ print submissions through MakerBot Cloud.
The MakerBot Cloud integration with Google For Education
provides teachers with familiar tools as they get started with 3D
printing with their students. Through the integration, educators
and students can easily connect to MakerBot Cloud by using their
Google credentials to log in with one click.
Educators can share their printer queue directly to Google
Classroom, and students can submit their 3D print projects to
MakerBot Cloud to be approved by their teachers for printing.
Teachers can also save and organize their students’ design files to
Google Drive.
“As a Google for Education partner, we are making it easier for
teachers and students to join the MakerBot ecosystem and utilize
the tools and resources we have available,” said Nadav Goshen, CEO,
MakerBot. “We remain committed to supporting 3D printing education
and will continue to develop solutions that will advance the
possibilities of learning and innovation.”
As schools shift to adapt to a changing environment, the ability
to collaborate with diverse learning environments is more important
than ever. MakerBot Cloud allows users from anywhere in the world
to access their 3D printers at any time.
