HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 25, 2014 — With almost 50 million public school students and over three million teachers in the U.S., the introduction of 3D printing into educational facilities offers the potential for the 3D printing market to realize exponential gains. This development presents an amazing opportunity for Changing Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: CHGT) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 6th Dimension Technologies, as they continue to make their footprint in the multi-billion dollar 3D printing space.
The National Center for Education Statistics reports that there are over 49.5 million public school students and 3.1 million teachers in the U.S. Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS), the parent company of 3D printer producer MakerBot Industries, is targeting the placement of a 3D printer in every U.S. public school. Introducing 3D printing technology to this audience will undoubtedly increase interest in the already booming sector, which is projected to eclipse $16.2 billion within the next five years.
“Having 3D printers in U.S. public schools introduces this cutting-edge technology to the next generation of consumer end users and creates new opportunities in all segments of the market,” CHGT CEO Omar T. Durham said.
