Applications for 3D Printing in High Schools and Universities
Outline
Here are a few ways a 3D printer might be used in a University setting.
Medical students can print human organs, which increases the quality of their training. In addition, they can develop prosthetics, and improve their own understanding of a human body.
In Fablabs of universities, having a 3D printer in addition to standard tools (like CNC and woodwork stations) allows students to have unlimited capacities for their projects.
Technology students can work on developing new products using a 3D printing, for rapid prototyping and eventually production of real parts.
Architecture and design students can print their models, making those tangible and having better ways of communicating their ideas.
There are plenty of great articles and think pieces out there already. Check out some of the pages below.
