2. 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.

8. 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.

10. Who Can Use it?
1. Engineering design students can print out prototypes
2. Architecture students can print out 3D models of designs
3. History classes can print out historical artifacts for examination
4. Graphic Design students can print out 3D versions of their
artwork
5. Geography students can print out topography, demographic,
or population maps
6. Cooking students can create molds for food products
7. Automotive students can print out replacement parts or
modified examples of existing parts for testing
8. Chemistry students can print out 3D models of molecules
9. Biology students can print out cells, viruses, organs, and other
critical biological artifacts
10. Math students can print out “problems” to solve in their own
learning spaces, from scale models to city infrastructural design
challenges

13. What can do with it?
1. Print an existing model with which students
could engage
2. Capture something in your environment
3. Build something from scratch using free
software
4. Ask your students to design something
