Customer Success Story: Methodist Ladies’ College
Methodist Ladies’ College is one of Australia’s leading independent girls’ schools. Its earlier 3D printers required a trained supervisor, limiting student access to booked sessions.
Konica Minolta introduced the YSoft be3D eDee, a compact printer with a lockable chamber that lets students print safely without supervision. Now placed in a collaborative space, it’s become a hub for creative work, from a student built model of an English castle to a Year 7 mini city project.
The bank of 3D printers Konica Minolta provided quickly became a hub of energy and innovation. Because students can use the be3D eDee 3D printers easily and without teacher supervision, they’ve become a popular addition to enhance student projects and assignments.
