GE Additive Education Program Sends 3D Printer Packages to 400 Schools

In early 2017, GE announced that it would be investing $10 million over the next five years in the GE Additive Education Program (AEP), a two-part educational initiative that's designed specifically to foster and develop students' skills to prepare them for the workforce. The AEP's mission is to provide schools at the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels with 3D printers, and the worldwide response was huge: GE Additive received over 250 applications from colleges and universities, and over 500 applications from primary and secondary schools. GE Additive just announced that it has chosen over 400 schools around the world to receive 3D printers as part of the program. As part of its commitment to developing future additive manufacturing talent around the world, GE will be sending a desktop polymer 3D printer package to around 400 primary and secondary schools, and a metal 3D printer to eight universities; globally, this initiative will reach over 180,000 students.
