Find Inner Peace Through Decluttering 29 Treat Filament with Care Many filaments are hygroscopic, meaning they love water, absorbing it from the surrounding air. Exposed filament, especially ABS, nylon, and flexible materials, drink moisture in, resulting in problems. Store spools in plastic bins with desiccant between uses. Adjust Speed & Movement While it might be tempting to increase the speed of movement to be as efficient as possible, too much speed can quickly lead to a reduction in quality. Ringing, or echoes around edges or around print features, is caused by vibrations from movement of the extruder. To fix the problem, reduce print speed. However, be sure that the extruder is still moving quickly enough; if it’s too slow the printed area could overheat and cause other quality problems. CHAPTER SIX : PRINTING YOUR FIRST 3D OBJECT
Chapter Seven: 3D Printing in Education and Industry
Thus, Integrating 3D printing into educational curricular can significantly enhance students' learning experiences and outcomes. Research consistently shows that handson learning activities, such as those provided by 3D printing, improve student engagement and understanding of complex concepts. For instance, a study conducted by the University of Illinois found that students who participated in 3D printing projects demonstrated higher retention rates and a better grasp of STEM subjects compared to those who only used traditional learning methods. This hands-on approach makes learning more interactive and dynamic, which can be especially beneficial for students who struggle with conventional teaching methods. 3D printing technology allows students to visualize and interact with three-dimensional models, making abstract concepts more tangible. This is particularly advantageous in subjects like engineering, biology, and mathematics, where spatial understanding is crucial. For example, in biology, students can print and examine detailed models of cells, organs, and entire organisms, gaining a deeper understanding of their structures and functions. In mathematics, complex geometric shapes can be printed to help students better understand their properties and relationships. In engineering, students can design, prototype, and test their inventions, fostering a practical understanding of design and manufacturing processes. CHAPTER SEVEN: 3D PRINTING IN EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY 53 There’s no denying that 3D Printing brings many benefits to modern living. That is why the “3D Printing Movement” would stomp in the near future. As time flies, technologies improves or even AI taking over, it goes without saying that we should prepare for any outcomes and embrace 3D printing as a whole. 7.1 3D Printing in Education
Moreover, 3D printing projects foster creativity, problem-solving skills, and collaboration among students. Working on a 3D printing project often requires students to go through the entire design process, from initial concept to final product, encouraging them to think creatively and solve problems that arise during the project. This experiential learning approach caters to various learning styles, making education more inclusive and effective. Additionally, collaborative projects involving 3D printing can teach students essential teamwork and communication skills as they work together to design and print their projects. To fully harness these benefits, educational institutions should integrate 3D printing into their curricular by developing specific modules and projects that utilize this technology. This could involve incorporating 3D printing into existing subjects or creating new courses focused on 3D design and printing. Teachers should receive professional development and training to effectively incorporate 3D printing into their lesson plans. This training should cover both the technical aspects of using 3D printers and software, as well as pedagogical strategies for integrating 3D printing into different subject areas. Furthermore, schools should invest in the necessary equipment and software to provide students with ample opportunities to engage with 3D printing. This includes not only purchasing 3D printers but also ensuring that there are enough supplies, such as filament and maintenance tools, to keep the printers running smoothly. Schools should also invest in software that allows students to design their own 3D models, as well as resources and support for troubleshooting and maintaining the equipment. By integrating 3D printing into their curricula, providing professional development for teachers, and investing in the necessary equipment and software, educational institutions can create a rich learning environment that prepares students for future challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. This approach not only enhances educational outcomes but also equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st-century workforce. CHAPTER SEVEN: 3D PRINTING IN EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY 54 Key Point: 3D printing is like building a sandcastle one grain at a time. Rather than carving a piece of material by removal, 3D printing create layers and make something that the limit is our own imagination. Then what better way to embrace 3D printing with encouragement through education.
in various industries, transforming how products are designed, prototyped, and manufactured. This technology has been successfully adopted across many sectors such as healthcare, automotive, and aerospace to enhance production processes. For instance, General Electric uses 3D printing to produce complex parts for jet engines, resulting in significant weight reductions and fuel savings. In the healthcare industry, 3D printing is utilized to create customized prosthetics and implants, improving patient outcomes by providing tailored solutions that traditional manufacturing methods cannot achieve. The ability to quickly prototype and produce parts on-demand allows companies to innovate more rapidly and reduce time-to-market. This rapid prototyping capability is crucial for industries where speed and agility are essential for maintaining a competitive edge. With 3D printing, companies can iterate designs quickly, test new concepts, and bring products to market faster than ever before. This accelerates the innovation cycle and allows businesses to respond more effectively to market demands and technological advancements. Moreover, with various types of 3D printing, it enables the creation of complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. This capability opens up new possibilities for product design, allowing for more intricate and lightweight structures that enhance performance and functionality. For example, in the aerospace industry, 3D printing is used to create intricate lattice structures that reduce weight without compromising strength, leading to more efficient and fuel-saving aircraft designs. In addition to design innovation, 3D printing also reduces material waste and production costs. Traditional manufacturing methods often involve subtractive processes that cut away material to create the final product, resulting in significant waste. In contrast, 3D printing is an additive process that builds products layer by layer, using only the material necessary for the final design. This not only minimizes waste but also reduces the cost of materials and the environmental impact of manufacturing processes. CHAPTER EIGHT: CONCLUSION AND BE 55 While education may be the foundation of this phenomenon, the industry also plays a big role in our society. With the application of 3D printing in the industry, various capabilities emerge and we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg. 3D printing technology can drive innovation and efficiency 7.2 3D Printing in Industry
