The intervention of 3D printing technology in education can directly bring boring theoretical lessons to life. 3D printing technology provides students with accurate physical models that can be touched and observed to further enhance their understanding of theoretical knowledge and improve their imagination and creativity.
- Improve students' imagination and creativity
- Accelerate students' understanding and absorption of new knowledge
- Increase students' autonomy in learning
- Real-time realization of creative ideas for students
In education, 3D printing technology helps improve learning, skill development, and increases student and teacher input into the subject matter
Manufacturing has been transformed by 3D printing, and many manufacturers now use 3D printing or additive manufacturing technology to produce airplane parts, prosthetics, and even 3D printed drugs.
There are four main applications for 3D printing in educational settings, which are as follows:
- 1. teaching students about 3D printing, how it works, and how it can be used in real-world scenarios (e.g. streamlining industrial processes)
- 2. Educators are being introduced to 3D printing so that it can be properly integrated into the learning curriculum.
- 3. improve students' creativity and design skills
- 4. print artifacts that help students understand important concepts (e.g. 3D printed anatomical artifacts)
