TECHNICAL TRAINING REPORT

In this month's newsletter, we're giving you a first look at Stratasys' newest 3D printer -- the first full color, multi-material 3D printer available on the market.

 

On the CTE side of things, we look at the new age of graphic arts communications programming -- and Gary Daniels investigates a common problem he sees in high school CTE programs: a teacher shortage. If your program is in danger of being shut down, he offers recommendations for broadening the applications of your CTE classroom or lab to keep the program alive.

 

We also look at some grant funding available to higher education technical programs. More on that below...

The New Age of CTE Graphic Communications Arts Programs

In graphic arts communications programs, students must learn techniques like offset lithography, digital, and screen printing processes.

 

However, it's also important to teach the industry's new design and fabrication technologies like 3D printing, 3D scanning and laser etching.
