With unparalleled speed and convenience, 3D printing applications can go far beyond engineering and design. Education is one area where 3D printing offers many benefits to both students and teachers — creating real-world representations of concepts in fields including science and mathematics; or practical tools and props; and even artwork in areas such as architecture, theater and art classes. 

Because 3D printing can produce parts and pieces in a matter of hours, and all work is completed on site, 3D printing applications in education can be incorporated on almost a real-time basis. A concept or lesson discussed one day can have a 3D printed component ready the following day, or even later the same day. This speed and ease of use helps keep students engaged, and makes the technology more accessible for teachers and instructors.

With 3D printing machinery and equipment becoming more and more accessible, these benefits can easily be brought to students and teachers, making a major impact on day-to-day lesson planning and the potential offered to students. With applications across nearly every discipline of study, investments in 3D printing equipment aren’t limited to one classroom or department — they result in benefits to nearly every member of the school.

Just as 3D printing is useful in a broad cross-section of educational areas, it is also being found in a wider range of professional settings. Meaning, access to 3D printing technology in the classroom can help prepare students to enter the workforce. As students grow comfortable with 3D printing technology and become more aware of its potential, they become better able to use it to solve problems independently, boosting the professional choices available to them.

​Whether found in primary schools, high schools or university settings, early access to 3D printing technology is an undeniable enhancement to education for any student. To learn more about the benefits of 3D printing in the classroom, read the slide presentation created by 3 Space below.
