how many 3D printers does a school need?
shirky17
Feb 21 @ 7:11 PM EST

does it do any good to talk about 3D design/printing if they arent making with anything else yet?

How many can you afford? Seriously though, given the speed at which they print, having a few isn't bad.

Maybe, but given the slow speed of 3D printers now, making w/ something else, even cardboard is a start.

probably depends on how many engineering classes they offer and whether they have a makerspace

why does it have to be an engineering class...isnt 3D printing applicable to all classes?

I know there are a lot of uses for 3d printers in schools, I just see them as a novelty and the tech isn't very good IMHO

If they get the bugs worked out of the new CLIP 3D printers using a liquid base, that should speed things up.

so does every Ss or group design & print their own topo?
