The device allows students to design and fabricate precise, large-scale projects in a shorter amount of time.
"Before it took a while, now with the new device you type the information into the computer and it's ready to go," explained Jason LaRosa.
To date, the company, through its partnership with DonorsChoose, has funded more than $4.5 million in community projects.
