Fun, educational kits for 3D printers

However, no one is quite sure what to print on a 3D printer. We can fix that.

We sell fun, educational things for children and adults to make on 3D printers. Iconic, amazing things that changed the world, from Stephenson’s Rocket, to Space Ship One, to the Model T Ford and the very first hovercraft.

Buy, download, print and build your kit and learn about the new 3D printing technology as you go. Putting the kit together is child’s play and you can trick it out with motors, micro computers, LEDs and more.

We want children to have fun, learn, and become the inventors and engineers of tomorrow.

We are I Can Make.
