• Slicing your 3D design ready for printing

• Your design will be printed and posted to you on completion

• Examples of how Renishaw use 3D printing

We are also offering to print your child's design and send the finished piece to you in the post, free of charge (UK residents only). Please ensure you share your postal address during registration - home addresses will only be used for posting the 3D printed design and will be deleted once the item has been sent.

Renishaw Education Outreach

Renishaw's Education outreach team brings these clear and positive messages into schools and colleges in Gloucestershire, Bristol and South Wales, and to universities throughout the country.

Our proactive education outreach programme is designed to excite, to interest and engage students in a range of engineering activities. Our aim is to provide real insight into the vibrant world of engineering, and careers based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects.

The great engineers of tomorrow are students in our schools today.  With the help of primary and secondary school teachers (and parents…) in Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, Bristol and South Wales, we want to find them.  This country needs more engineers. Renishaw needs more engineers!

Renishaw's Education Outreach programme offers local schools a range of activities designed to inspire young students to engage in engineering and consider it as a future career option.  You never know, they might want to work at Renishaw one day.

Our comprehensive education outreach activities are completely free and aimed at Year 5 - 13.  Our goal is to bring real-world context and added value to schools' science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) curricula.
