What is 3D Printing?
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of fabrication in which an object is created layer by layer, based on a 3D digital model. A variety of materials and technologies can be used in 3D printing; our printers use a heated extruder to deposit successive layers of plastic to create an object. 3D printing allows you to bring an idea rapidly from concept to reality. You can produce objects that can not easily be created by traditional manufacturing techniques, while maintaining low-cost and high accessibility. Check out 3D Printing Basics: The Free Beginner’s Guide, for more information about a variety of topics related to 3D printing.
Why is 3D Printing Important in Education?
3D printing has begun to revolutionize numerous industries including manufacturing, medicine, and fashion. The technology has inspired social activism. Organizations like e-NABLE have developed around 3D printing. e-NABLE is a global network of volunteers who create free 3D printed prosthetic hands for those in need. 3D printing is also having an impact in education from primary to university level. Visualizations of complex geometries, molecules, and mathematical relations can be printed and manipulated. Accurate replicas of delicate artifacts can be produced and handled. Iterative design can be practiced with the falling cost of printing. Students exercise and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the rapid development of prototypes to solve real-life problems. From engineering to the liberal arts, 3D printing provides students with new opportunities to experiment, design, and be creative.

Uchapishaji wa 3D ni nini? 3D uchapishaji, pia inajulikana kama utengenezaji wa nyongeza, ni mchakato wa utengenezaji ambapo kitu huundwa safu kwa safu, kulingana na mfano wa dijiti wa 3D. Vifaa mbalimbali na teknolojia zinaweza kutumika katika uchapishaji wa 3D; wachapishaji wetu hutumia extruder iliyopashwa joto kuweka tabaka za plastiki mfululizo ili kuunda kitu. 3D kuchapisha ni njia ya kuhamisha wazo kutoka kwa wazo hadi kwa hali halisi. Unaweza kuzalisha vitu ambavyo haviwezi kuundwa kwa urahisi na mbinu za jadi za utengenezaji, wakati wa kudumisha gharama ya chini na upatikanaji wa juu. 3D Printing Basics: The Free Beginner's Guide ni kitabu cha bure cha kuchapisha kwa ajili ya watu wote. Kwa nini uchapishaji wa 3D ni muhimu katika elimu? Uchapishaji wa 3D umebadilisha sekta nyingi za viwanda, ikiwa ni pamoja na utengenezaji, dawa, na mitindo. Teknolojia hiyo imechochea uchochezi wa kijamii. Kampuni kama vile E-NABLE na E-Bubble zimeanza kuunda teknolojia ya kuchapisha 3D. E-NABLE ni mtandao wa kimataifa wa kujitolea ambao huunda mikono ya bure ya 3D iliyochapishwa kwa wale wanaohitaji. 3D kuchapisha pia ni muhimu kwa ajili ya elimu ya msingi na ya chuo kikuu. Maonyesho ya jiometri tata, molekuli, na mahusiano ya hisabati yanaweza kuchapishwa na kutumiwa. Nakala sahihi za vitu vya kale vyenye utata zaweza kutengenezwa na kushughulikiwa. Ubunifu wa iterative unaweza kutekelezwa na gharama ya kushuka ya uchapishaji. Wanafunzi mazoezi na kuendeleza kufikiri muhimu na uwezo wa kutatua matatizo kwa njia ya maendeleo ya haraka ya prototypes kutatua matatizo ya maisha halisi. Kutoka kwa uhandisi hadi sanaa huria, uchapishaji wa 3D hutoa wanafunzi fursa mpya za majaribio, kubuni, na kuwa wabunifu. Angalia tovuti hapa chini kwa habari zaidi kuhusu 3D kuchapisha.
