The company was founded by Richard Amarosa, a veteran instructor
with over 17 years of classroom and administration experience
in Technology Education.
Mr. Amarosa recognized the benefits and
potential of easy-to-use 3D CAD software as powerful teaching
tools to prepare students for fast track engineering careers.
He also saw the need to fill the technology gap between industry
and education with low cost, highly effective solutions for
tight school budgets. His extensive research into Technology
Education resulted in the creation of Technology Education
Concepts, Inc.
In 1987, TEC, Inc. introduced
two of the first 3D CAD software programs in the marketplace,
CADKEY® and DataCAD®, to the academic arena and became
a regional dealer for universities, schools and students in
New England. Today, TEC, Inc. has grown to assist tens of
thousands of students, faculty, and schools in North America
as a national distributor of KeyCreator/CADKEY, Envisioneer,
DataCAD, SURFCAM, GCC LaserPro Lasers and 3D Manufacturing
Programs and curriculum materials. TEC, Inc. is also
an academic regional dealer for Z Corp. 3D Printers.
We specialize in providing today’s classrooms with cutting
edge technologies at academic prices.
