Revolutionizing the Classroom Infographic Description
3D printers have actually been around for about 30 years. Barriers like cost are breaking down, so they’re now becoming available to the public.
Printed objects can be incredibly intricate. They can also be created with working components, hinges, and parts within parts.
3D printing has caught the attention of educators who are looking into ways to incorporate it into the classroom.
Using 3D printers in the classroom could mean:
Biology students can study cross-sections of hearts or other organs.
Chemistry students could print out molecules to study.
Auto class students could print replacement or modified car parts.
Cooking class students could design intricate molds for ices and gelatins.
Students in geography courses could print out maps showing the topography, population or demographics of an area.
Graphic design students could create 3D versions of their artwork.
History classes could print out historic artifacts for closer examination.
Architecture students could easily print out 3D models of their designs.
Engineering and design students can print out prototypes of their creations.
