Description
The ACADEMY 2 is designed for shared teaching spaces. It sits in a matte black cabinet with interlocking safety doors, and its locking casters let a school move it between classrooms. The education package adds the software, training and accessories a program needs on day one.
Who this package suits
Schools that share one machine across classrooms, and programs where safety and visibility matter as much as cutting capacity. The 12″ × 24″ area suits longer signs, boards and project parts than the ACADEMY 1.

What we see most often
Schools often focus on the machine and overlook the route it has to travel. At 573 lbs, doorways, ramps and floor transitions should be measured before delivery. A short walk-through with your facilities team saves a surprise on install day.
