4. 3D Printing

5. 3D Printing
What was the goal or expected outcomes the technology would produce?
Teach new manufacturing principles.
Research and proof of concept.
Production of real-world examples for use in the classroom.
People are slow to make the connection between science and technology.

6. 3D Printing
In what ways did the technology actually enhance the expected outcomes?
Allows students to quickly create tangible prototypes/working models and full scale parts.
Almost anything within reason can be printed.

7. 3D Printing
In what ways did the technology inhibit the expected outcomes?
Depending on use, the technology is not there yet.
Lack of predesigned items and copyright concerns.
People are slow to make the connection.

8. 3D Printing What are the limitations of the technology? Printer speed
Cost of printers and prints.
Printer speed
Depending upon the medium:
Little tensile strength.
Little temperature tolerance.
Acceptance/understanding

9. 3D Printing
In what scenarios should leaders consider adopting this technology?
PreK-12 and higher education Classrooms and labs (STEM).
Libraries (3D printing centers)
