Watch the webinar Most mid-sized schools have a few upper-level student operators running their 3D printers. The problem, however, is that they have so many students requesting 3D printing projects ALL AT ONCE! To make matters even more chaotic, some students send in their projects using email, FTP files or USB thumb drives. This puts a lot of unnecessary stress on lab operators and teachers to try to keep print requests organized. In fact, it can take up to 15% of an educator's day!
