Many different industries are evolving with the addition of ‪virtual reality‬. One key one is education. Virtual reality helps reduce costs of material. Many times it take up less of an area, and students are able to get more hands-on training, faster, in a safe environment. We offer a wide range of training products, from ‪welding‬, spraying to heavy equipment operating.

Shutting Down Your 3D Printer
It is required to shut down your PolyJet machine if it will not be used for a week or more to prevent clogging of the printer heads. Otherwise, the printer can remain on, in Idle mode. Unlike a PolyJet machine, shutting down an FDM 3D printer is not necessary when it will not be used for an extended period of time; however, it is an easy 3-step process that takes just a few minutes and is a great way to conserve energy.

Tech-Labs is one of the few platinum distributors for Stratasys, a pioneer in 3D technology and one of the largest suppliers of 3D printers in the world. Tech-Labs is also a full-service provider of educational equipment and software, distributing robotics, e-learning and heavy equipment simulators.
