My class and I are on education accounts and I would like for the students to be able to print their projects.

    I'm not familiar with that machine but all the printers I've worked with will take an stl file that onshape will happily export to  :) .Simply right click on the part, click export, select stl and your good to go.

    You'd also need to use a "slicer" program to convert the STL into instructions that the 3D printer understands.  Onshape doesn't natively support a slicer function, but some of it's 3rd part apps do and there are number of free and inexpensive programs that would also work.
