The Young Maker at EDUtech Asia 2026: Bambu Lab Education Partner in Singapore
Live demos and hands-on 3D printing solutions for Singapore education, presented at the Bambu Lab booth.
On 4 and 5 November 2026, The Young Maker joined Bambu Lab at its booth at EDUtech Asia 2026 as Bambu Lab's education partner in Singapore. Across two days at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, our educators met school leaders and teachers, ran live demos and showed what students can design, print and build with 3D printing.
What is EDUtech Asia?
EDUtech Asia is a two-day education conference and exhibition held each November in Singapore, bringing together educators, school leaders and education technology providers from across the region. The 2026 edition ran on 4 and 5 November at Sands Expo & Convention Centre.
What we showed at the Bambu Lab booth
At the booth
- Live 3D printing demos on Bambu Lab 3D printers, walking teachers through the full workflow of modelling, slicing, printing and finishing.
- MakerPulse from TYM 3D Lab: a WiFi desk display that students design, 3D print and code in our 3D + Electronics course, showing the time, weather and bus arrivals.
- 3D-printed products from our programmes, so teachers could see the standard of work students reach and the range of projects a school programme can cover.
What it means to be a Bambu Lab education partner
As a Bambu Lab education partner, The Young Maker teaches 3D printing in schools and at our own 3D Lab using Bambu Lab 3D printers.
Students learn to turn an idea into a sketch, a sketch into a precise digital model, and a model into a physical object, then check whether it works and improve it.
Along the way, they practise skills that carry across subjects: measuring and working to scale in Mathematics, testing materials and structures in Science, and following the design process in Design & Technology.
Why Bambu Lab 3D printers work in schools
In a classroom, the best 3D printer is the one that gets out of the way. From our experience teaching with them, Bambu Lab 3D printers suit schools because they are quick to set up, calibrate themselves and print consistently, so lesson time goes into design rather than troubleshooting.
- Less downtime: automatic calibration means fewer failed prints and fewer lessons lost to adjustments.
- A simple workflow: Bambu Studio keeps slicing approachable for young learners, while still teaching the concepts behind a good print.
- Room to grow: multi-colour printing and a large library of community models on MakerWorld give students ideas to remix and build on.
Our commitment to 3D education in Singapore and Southeast Asia
The Young Maker has taught coding, robotics and artificial intelligence in Singapore schools since 2020, and 3D modelling and printing are now a core part of what we teach. Our commitment is to make hands-on 3D technology education available to every school that wants it, starting in Singapore and growing across Southeast Asia.
In practice, that means three things:
- School programmes in 3D modelling and 3D printing, adapted to each school's students, timetable and goals.
- Teacher support, so 3D printers keep being used confidently long after a programme ends.
- Projects with purpose, such as MakerPulse, that connect 3D printing with electronics, coding and real-world design.
Working alongside Bambu Lab, our goal is to help more young learners across the region move from using technology to designing and making it.

Frequently asked questions
How does a Bambu Lab education partner support 3D printing education?
A Bambu Lab education partner helps schools turn Bambu Lab 3D printers into structured learning. In Singapore, The Young Maker does this by designing 3D modelling and printing programmes, teaching students directly, and supporting teachers to bring 3D printing into their own lessons with confidence.
Can The Young Maker run 3D printing programmes at my school?
Yes. The Young Maker runs 3D modelling and 3D printing programmes for primary and secondary schools across Singapore, from single enrichment sessions to multi-week programmes. Each programme can be adapted to your students' level, class size and timetable.
Which ages do The Young Maker's 3D courses suit?
The Young Maker's 3D courses for young learners are designed for students aged 7 to 16. Younger students start with simple shapes and guided projects, while older students move on to precise CAD modelling, design for 3D printing and projects that combine 3D printing with electronics.
Do schools need their own Bambu Lab printers?
No. Schools without printers can still run a programme with The Young Maker, and students' designs can be printed for them. Schools that already own Bambu Lab 3D printers, or are planning to buy them, can use the programme to get the most out of their machines.
Bring 3D printing education to your school
Whether your school already owns Bambu Lab 3D printers or is just getting started, The Young Maker can design and teach a programme that fits your students.
