The 'da Vinci miniMaker' is a printer for kids by XYZprinting that is designed for schools and other educational environments. The printer sets itself apart by using only printing with XYZprinting's own biodegradable and non-toxic PLA filament, which is free from both DEHP and heavy metals. The unit itself boasts a lightweight design that's only a few feet tall and wide, meaning that it is ideal for making a variety of small items, which take time to fabricate.
Those who use the da Vinci miniMaker have access to an 'Educational Ecosystem,' which includes the XYZmaker 3D modeling application, XYZprinting STEAM, a complimentary 3D printing curriculum exchange platform for grades from K-12 and the XYZ 3D Gallery for 3D models.
XYZprinting intends for this innovative 3D printer for kids to empower and inspire the next generation of engineers and designers.
