WELCOME TO FUTURE OF 3D PRINTING AND EDUCATION

Post: Welcome

WHAT IS 3D-PRINTING

According to (3dprinting.com, 2017)  3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
3D printing is a new way of explaining for teachers. They can make prototypes using 3D printers, they can allow students to print their own prototypes. Learning and explaining by using a 3D model is much better than explaining from a text or PowerPoint.
(McCue, 2011) “Never mind the computer on every desktop, that’s a given. In the near future, teachers and students will want or have a 3D printer on the desk to help them learn core Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) principles”

HOW 3D-PRININTING WORKS?

(Walker, 2013) start by designing a 3D object on an ordinary home PC, connect it to a 3D printer, the 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object.

3D PRINTING AND EDUCATION

TAKE A LOOK AT FEW FACTS BY (FINFEED, 2017) RELATED TO 3D PRINTING AND EDUCATION BELOW;

​

  • 3D printing is becoming a primary educational tool as schools across the globe adopt 3D learning models to cater to a growing demand in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) based curricula.

  • Government initiatives around the world are now putting 3D technology in the hands of students to provide skills for the future.

  • Education based interest in the 3D movement is, in part, responsible for the rapid growth of the market which was valued at around $3-$6 billion dollars in 2016, and has been projected to exceed $17 billion by 2020.

HOW 3D PRINTING CAN BE USED IN EDUCATION?

  1. 3D Printing and future of Math

According to (Karou, 2015) these are a few ways by which 3D printing can improve math education:

  • Explain math concepts: Physical, tactile tools can help students understand abstract and sophisticated math concepts

  • Inspire mathematical wonder: 3D printed hyperboloid tool inspires mathematical curiosity 

  • full-scale math experiences: In addition to creating math objects, 3D printers have opened up a wonderland of options for designing components of larger experiences used to facilitate mathematical thinking

3D PRINTING AND EDUCATION IN NEXT 10 YEARS

  1. According to a question on Quora about “How will education change in the next 10 years?”,  (Koteshov) answered that “Without any doubt, 3D printing is pure gold when it comes to education. Just imagine what joy could bring this technology to science classes analyzing models of molecules or think about anthropological classes exploring a 3D prehistoric man’s skull?”

  2. According to (Egham, 2014) "Consumer 3D printing is around five to 10 years away from mainstream adoption," said Pete Basiliere, research vice president at Gartner. "
