What can 3D printing offer schools and students? The simple answer is opportunities. The ability to take something from abstract thought, through a computer and into a real-life object is something that has not been easily and cost effectively available to schools. Schools need to be utilising the opportunities this can provide. Be it extra-curricular activities, or allowing students to display their knowledge and understanding by creating a concrete model to help teach others, or even just exploring this new way of manufacturing.
