As a creative technology, 3D printing is the main project in the maker education initiative being implemented by primary and secondary schools in various regions. Children can freely use their imagination to design and realize their dreams with the help of the 3D laser printer. This process helps them develop three-dimensional spatial thinking skills, stimulates their interest in science, mathematics, engineering, and creative design. Combining practice with theory, knowledge and thinking about reality and future.
In addition, teachers can use the 3D laser printer to construct three-dimensional geometric models and other teaching tools to inspire students' understanding of knowledge in a material form. For example, in a math class, 3D printing can help students to see more three-dimensional graphics and mathematical models, and can quickly help them establish three-dimensional spatial thinking skills. In a geography class, 3D printing can help students better understand the scale of geological structures, and in a history class, replicas of ancient artifacts can provide students with more historical experience. Abstract teaching concepts are easier to understand, making learning fun.
On the other hand, family education is sometimes more important than school education. Parents are often the best teacher for their children. In the eyes of children, parents are the people they trust the most. Therefore, children often instinctively learn from their parents, including their way of thinking and their unique traits. 3D printers can serve as a bridge between parents and children, making education enjoyable. Together, they can create interesting toys or home decorations and abandon smartphones and televisions.
In summary, the future prospects of the 3D laser printer in the education field should be visible, and the 3D printing industry is already mature, with prices having dropped significantly. In fact, consumers can easily enjoy and use 3D printing. The awareness may be lagging behind a bit. However, in the near future, 3D printers will undoubtedly become more high-quality and intelligent, bringing convenience and creativity to millions of households, just like computers and smartphones.
With the further development and maturation of smart manufacturing, new information technology, control technology, and materials technology are constantly being applied in the manufacturing sector. 3D printing technology will also be pushed to new heights. In the future, 3D printing equipment will be developed in the direction of miniaturization and giantization. Small 3D printers can not only meet the needs of households and offices, but can also be widely used in print shops that provide 3D printing services. Giant 3D printers can meet the needs of large-scale manufacturing factories such as aerospace and automobile manufacturing enterprises. Meanwhile, 3D printing technology is also evolving towards intelligence. 3D software for 3D printing can respond differently based on factors such as materials and structures.
