RapidMade supports nConnect, a non-profit organization that connects professionals and schools, to promote career planning and college preparation.

It's always great to get back into the classroom! On Friday, RapidMade's CEO Renee Eaton participated in nConnect's Speed Networking event at Skyview High School in Vancouver. Students especially enjoyed seeing all of the 3D printed objects she brought. And they loved hearing how additive manufacturing is changing the fields of medicine, aerospace, marketing and manufacturing - and how important STEM professionals are to the industry's growth and success.

These events are always a lot of fun for presenters and participants. Based on the questions asked, there were many highly motivated first year students.

Afterward, Renee had a chance to meet the school's Manufacturing faculty and see their bank of desktop 3D printers.

Businesses looking to create novel gifts and promotional giveaways are increasingly turning to 3D printing to customize - and maximize - their marketing efforts. Consider these benefits:

Pens and magnets are boring and forgettable. Make a promotional giveaway your customer has never before seen.
Come to us with nothing but an idea for a promotional product, and we can take care of the rest.
Personalize your giveaways to the exact customer you are handing it to with custom messaging.
Many promotional products require expensive tooling and long lead times to accomplish - RapidMade can make your promotional products in a week or less.
Get your products in front of customers where it would otherwise be difficult or impossible.
Customize marketing materials with logos and designs.
Infinite customization to achieve the exact effects you desire.
Get concept models in front of customers early in the product development cycle to get feedback before spending too much money on the wrong track.
Get tangible products in your customers hands instead of a 2D computer image.
