Additive manufacturing in the classroom incorporates more than just the ins and outs of how 3D printers work; it invites students to explore every aspect of designing on paper, designing or modeling with 3D software, and preparing their files for 3D printing. From working through design concepts to product development and engineering, the critical-thinking skills students develop by working with 3D printing early on will
remain with them throughout their education and beyond.
Once you’ve decided to take the next steps and purchase a 3D printer for your classroom, where do you start?
Today’s fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers are more popular and more accessible than ever. No longer a novelty, they are used as an everyday tool to accelerate innovation in studios, labs, workshops, and schools worldwide. But their increased popularity has...
Fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing enables you to optimize product development and reduce costs. It can also add value in applications such as mold creation, tooling, and one-off or low-volume end-use parts, like customized jigs and fixtures. That’s why...
