Roland Introduces Education Solutions



June 1, 2017

Roland DGA Corp., Irvine, Calif., has introduced project-based learning (PBL) tutorials specifically designed for use with the company’s advanced digital devices in schools, colleges and other learning environments.

These ready-to-teach solutions offer educators a fun and effective way to keep students of all ages engaged in digital-fabrication projects, according to the company.

Roland’s PBL offerings include a variety of engineering-, design- and art-related projects that give students a better understanding of technology and software. Created to combine with the company’s CNC mills, desktop vinyl cutters and digital inkjet printers, the tutorials include step-by-step lessons on everything from cutting decals and customizing smartphone covers to milling yo-yos and CO2 cars.

“The new PBL tutorials perfectly complement the impressive capabilities of our state-of-the-art digital machines,” says Matt Anderson, 3D Solutions product manager, Roland DGA. “They make learning how to use our mills, cutters and printers easier than ever by getting students involved in a variety of unique 3D prototyping, product customization, and sign-making projects.”


Project-based learning tutorials are available for Roland’s CAMM-1 GS-24 desktop cutter, MDX-540 mill, MDX-50 mill, TrueVIS series wide-format printer/cutters and VersaUV series UV flatbed printers. Customers can choose from a selection of accompanying projects created exclusively for use with these devices.

Roland’s digital machines are used in educational programs worldwide. The PBL tutorials are available now through authorized Roland DGA education dealers. — J.L.
