Customer Success Story: Trinity College
Trinity College is a multi-campus co-educational school with 3,700 students. Its hobbyist 3D printers couldn’t keep up with demand as the college opened its new Innovation & Creativity School.
Konica Minolta recommended the 3D Systems ProJet 2500 Plus and Markforged Onyx One, offering far greater reliability and industry standard results. Students now use the printers across STEM projects, from spinning top experiments to designing robot parts.
Konica Minolta approached Trinity College with the kind of technology that students will encounter in various industries, like manufacturing and medical, which we can use to prepare students for the future.
