College Seminars & Student Discounts
Smooth-On partners with teachers and students at colleges and universities worldwide to show how liquid rubbers, plastics, foams, and other materials can be used for mold making, casting, and countless creative and industrial applications. We support educators and schools in two ways: discounts for the college community, and hands-on mold making and casting seminars held right on your campus.

Smooth-On is pleased to offer discounts on materials to the college community, so students and instructors can keep more projects within budget.

- How to work successfully with these materials
