3D Printer

• A process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

• The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes.

• In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created.

• Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

How Beneficial 3D Printing Is In Education?

1. It provides teachers with 3 dimensional visual aids that they can use in their classroom particularly in illustrating a hard to grasp concept.

2. Easy for teachers to attract students compared to just showing the pictorial representations of objects.

3. It enhances hands-on learning and learning by doing. Using this prototyping technology, students will be able to produce realistic 3 dimensional mini-models.

4. It provides more room for interactive class activities. In biology, for instance, teachers can create a 3D model of the human heart, head, skeleton...etc to teach students about the human body.
