Materialise has organized a special 3D Printing Contest in cooperation with a few partners, including SketchUp Pro. The schools could submit their ideas for more fascinating classes and could win a complete 3D Printing Package for use during classes:
- A school license SketchUp Pro for working out their ideas in 3D
- A 3D Printer for the school
- A 3D Printing workshop for the whole class, of course with SketchUp Pro, to realize their ideas
- A professional 3D Print of the idea by Materialise

Exhibition
Materialse already exists 25 years in 2015. To celebrate this, they organize an exhibition about the value of 3D printing in our daily lives from April 23 until June 30, 2015. This exhibition will be equipped with a special area about the value of 3D printing in education where the winners will be exhibited.
The exhibition is open for everyone and the entrance will be free. The location has still to be decided, but you should definitely visit the exhibition.
