If you're unfamiliar with Construct3D, it is a national academic 3D printing and digital fabrication conference and expo that focuses on academic use, best practices, and professional development opportunities for faculty, staff, and students from informal, K-12, and higher education. Not only does Construct3D provide a platform for educators, students, and academic institutions to share their latest research and in-the-field experiences, but the event also strongly encourages action, hands-on experiences, and collaboration. Attendees come together, providing leadership and evangelizing the adoption of the rapid expansion of digital fabrication research and development. Just check out our schedule for this year’s event.

Construct3D has consistently brought hundreds of passionate educators and innovators together to exchange ideas, build networks, learn new skills, and accelerate the adoption and exploration of 3D printing in education. In addition to our all-star lineup of morning talks, we are packing the afternoons with workshops led by educators like ITP’s Makerspace Lab Manager Phil Caridi, and sponsors like Shopbot, Autodesk, Mayku, Grasshopper, Onshape, and more!

And following the conference, we are hosting a standalone AM Industry Skills Challenge on Friday, August 4th, at the NYU Tandon Makerspace that will demonstrate the very skills that the AM Industry asks for.
