Customer Success Story: Marist College Ashgrove
Marist College Ashgrove is a Brisbane Catholic boys’ school with over 1,600 students. As STEM subjects grew in importance, the school needed to modernise its 3D printing capability.
Konica Minolta supplied the Projet 660 full colour 3D printer with setup guidance and a five year lease that reduced financial risk. Year 9 students first used it to design a branded memory stick, bringing their ideas to life in full colour and sparking interest from other departments.
Konica Minolta has been very helpful in getting this project off the ground. The team was knowledgeable about how to set up and use the printer for the best educational outcomes.
