Evaluation of the Pedagogical Impact of the Educational Usage of 3D Printing in Czech Lower Secondary and Grammar Schools

<p style="text-align:justify">In this article, we discuss the impacts of using 3D printing in education. Our primary goal is to evaluate the pedagogical impact of lessons utilizing 3D printing. We asked one hundred ninety students in four reference schools about the acceptability of existing 3D materials for teaching. Although the results show high attractiveness for the target group, it turned out that the available lessons primarily focus on the acquisition of technical skills and do not use the potential of education in other areas. We, therefore, proposed a concept for creating multidisciplinary teaching lessons that connect the technical part with other educational areas. We show the application of our concept in a newly developed lesson in biology, where we again evaluate its acceptance among the students. The results show that although the multidisciplinary lessons are more complex, they are still acceptable to the students, and, most importantly, they add significant educational value. Finally, we discuss the possibilities of incorporating 3D printing into the teaching curriculum. We also use a selected use case to illustrate the real-world problems we have encountered.</p>

Fused filament fabrication in CAD education: A closed-loop approach

Integrating low-cost fused filament fabrication 3D printing as a foundation for learning 3D modelling is explored. This method blends traditional computer aided design (CAD) instruction with additive manufacturing possibilities. Experimental results demonstrate increased comprehension speed and reduced learning time. This hands-on approach empowers students by enabling direct engagement with the modelling process. Analogous to reverse engineering, the strategy instructs engineering students from final product to model creation, closing the gap between theory and practice. Incorporating 3D printing bridges this divide, enhancing understanding, creativity and problem-solving. The study underscores technology's influence on learning strategies, aligning with the surge of 3D printing in education. Results link advanced design technology usage to improved student performance, with 3D-printed materials yielding 45% higher grades and 30% faster task completion. This study advocates curricular advancement for design-focused careers through enhanced technology integration and favourable 3D printing model reception.

3D Printing in Education – Innovative Approaches to Learning through Modern 3D Technologies

The report will explore and research schools which already implemented 3D printing technology in their educational process. It will be described how it was developed and implemented in specific programs of educational institutions. Examples of academic disciplines where a 3D printer is used as an additional learning aid will be considered. As a consequence, I will derive results from the benefits of such type of learning aids.

3D Printing in Education: An Overview

3D printers are distinguished from other configuration and manufacturing technologies in that they provide easier, faster and less costly solutions, as well as allowing the design of complex configurations that need to overlap many normal manufacturing processes. As a result of the importance of this technology, many countries have seen the importance of spreading awareness of its importance in addition to training students on how to use it. 3D printing continues to amaze us with its capabilities and uses, and we hope to see it available in all schools and universities well so that students can have the space for creativity and innovation.

3D‐Printing Technologies and You: How to Choose a Printing Solution for Your Institution

With the rapid expansion and increased availability of 3D printing technologies, many colleges and universities are adding 3D‐printing “Maker Spaces” to their campuses. However, the full potential of these technologies often goes unrealized. Whether due to lack of training, planning or knowledge, many departments, especially in medical education, are failing to leverage the enormous potential of 3D printing. This poster aims to fill this ‘potential gap’ by helping you to plan and utilize 3D‐printing in education, training, and clinical practice. We will focus on the hardware side of 3D‐printing, with a primer on different 3D‐printing technologies, including the pros and cons of each. Cost, resolution, and print speed are the usually the primary factors in deciding on a 3D‐printer, but we will also consider printing medium, and how print material dictates the way 3D‐models can be used. This poster will present a hypothetical ‘decision tree’ that will aid you in choosing a printing solution for your goals and institution.

Implications for Activating 3D printer Use for Education in Elementary and Secondary Schools

This research aims at analysing the usage of 3D Printing in education for school grades and suggest a way to encourage schools to use 3D Printers in Education. For this, a survey was done for 3,247 teachers in Gyeonggi Province on September. Usually schools are trying to buy 3D Printers to use it with software education courses. However with this survey, it turns out that teachers use 3D Printer with after school activities, creativity and experiential activities more than a regular courses. This is because there are not many teaching and learning materials for 3D Printers to be used with regular courses and it is hard for teachers to use 3D printers with professionality due to the fact that lack of the training. Therefore, to activate 3D printers in schools, not only budget support but also trainings for teachers and developing teaching and learning materials should be involved.
