For each item, schools will need to purchase their own filament. Filament for each item can be purchased from the company website or some local suppliers. 3Doodler pen – website, DeSerres WEM, Michaels, Chapters/Indigo, ToysRUs, BestBuy. Dremel 3D printer – website, Canadian Tire, or Marson Equipment Ltd in Edmonton.
If schools are looking to purchase a 3D printer, Parkland's partner and authorized dealer is Imagination Technology Inc. and all purchases would go through Linda Lee at CFE.
