Entrepreneurial Story: Me3D’s Educational 3D Printing Technology

Me3D, an all-Australian 3D-printing software developer and hardware manufacturer based in North Wollongong, envisions providing highly accessible educational 3D printing technology, materials, and skills to kids and young adults across Australia and beyond.

The team is located at the iAccelerate Startup Incubator at the University of Wollongong Innovation Campus.

They received the Building Partnerships grant to pilot their BuildBee solution with the University Makerspace and several schools, providing software, printers, and educational materials.

BuildBee is a cloud-based operating system for any desktop 3D printer, allowing printing from any device—iPad, computer, phone, or tablet—based on 3D designs from applications like TinkerCAD.

Me3D not only supports the future of STEM education and the 3D printer industry but also quickly pivoted to producing face masks for the local health district when COVID struck.
