Case Study: Paradise Valley High School achieves hands-on precision design skills and increased student engagement with Stratasys Dimension 3D Printer

Paradise Valley High School - Customer Case Study

Paradise Valley High School’s CREST engineering program faced the challenge of making rigorous, precision-focused coursework tangible for students who were learning CAD and design principles for the first time. To give learners hands‑on experience and durable prototypes for post‑processing, Paradise Valley High School selected Stratasys and its Dimension 3D Printer.

Stratasys’s Dimension 3D Printer produced ABS prototypes students could touch, test and machine, allowing rapid iteration on projects from toy trains to arbor presses. The solution turned early non‑working prints into functioning prototypes, boosted student understanding and creativity, and helped grow CREST enrollment and engagement—Stratasys’s Dimension now routinely features in open houses to recruit new students.
