About 3D Printing Today s classrooms should be places of practical application and hands-on discovery is nurtured. Due to its versatile nature, 3D printers can be a facilitator of imparting real world application and knowledge in domains of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, Emotional Intelligence and Design (STEAMED). Today it is possible to 3D print (Manufacture) a wide range of materials that include thermoplastics, thermoplastic composites, pure metals, metal alloys and ceramics. It is because of 3D printing today we are able to print and shape and size of any material with most complex design which was unimaginable before. 3D printing as an end-user manufacturing technology and gaining grounds rapidly and in combination with synthetic biology and nanotechnology, it is radically transforming many design, production and logistics processes. Education in a digital age should be multi-dimensional, giving equal importance to theoretical as well as a hands-on, project base learning approach. Integrating 3D printing in education engages new age learners and future creators to stay adept with tomorrow s cutting-edge technology.
APPLICATION OF 3D PRINTER IN SCHOOLS
Why 3D Printers? A Wealth of Reasons Leadership tomorrow depends on how we educate our students today, especially in Math, Science, Technology, and Engineering. -President Donald Trump PM Shri Narendra Modi and the new education policy: Retrospection, Reform and Reality Everybody has the ability to dream. What matters is the effort to realize their dreams. Robotics, Artificial intelligence, 3Dtechnology...sees how the world is undergoing changes. This is an era of 'Internet of Things'. I am confident that the results of what my young friends are doing will lead to very positive results. There is a need to use technology more and innovate more. Today we live in a tech-driven era.
PROPOSED PROJECT Rationale for the Course While computer-aided additive manufacturing processes have been around for more than 30 years, the technology, now widely known as 3D printing, is reaching a tipping point. It is advancing rapidly, making its way to consumers, and reshaping manufacturing in the 21st century. The Third Industrial Revolution is about highly customized fabrication and it s happening now. Powered by Information Age advancements, it is poised to unlock the potential in every person to create, innovate and fabricate. 3D printing opens up inspiring possibilities and opportunities, like the ability to produce a fully functional machine in one print. It is the only manufacturing process that can interlock parts within parts to produce functioning closed systems that require no assembly. Furthermore, because 3D printers produce objects directly from computer models, students can immediately hold, evaluate, test and use their ideas and share them digitally with the world. The Internet revolutionized the creation, modification and dissemination of digital media. Now, 3D printing makes that possible for physical objects. 3D printing is reshaping the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, design and architecture by revolutionizing how things are made. India is a country having the highest working age population, but at the same time there is a lack of skilled work force. At this juncture, it becomes the responsibility of the educational institutions to train and produce skilled work force. Though there are a handful of institutions offering electives and Master s in 3D Printing their focus is limited to theoretical knowledge with little to no practical training. Skyrim Innovation has taken an initiative to bridge the gap between available working age population and skilled work force, through a well-designed course leading to Bachelor and Vocational Degree with emphasis on knowledge and practical skills. The programme with specialization in 3D Printing is designed to train and produce skilled work force with a mutual benefit intention where the students are trained as per requirements of the industry, thus helping them procure jobs that would give them ultimate working satisfaction. There is an added advantage to the student to be able to grow as a technically skilled entrepreneur. Placing a focus on making 3D printing accessible to every student regardless of background will result in a radical shift in the innovation cycle of the country.
Benefits of 3D Printing Numerous progressive schools, universities, and educational institutions across various disciplines have already integrated 3D printing technology into their classrooms and curriculums. 3D printing fuels limitless creativity and collaboration empowering pupils to envision hold and test their ideas in real spaces. Practical Hands-On Approach 3D printing in academics helps transform students being passive consumers to active creators. Current system relies heavily on theoretical learning and very little on real-world deployment of knowledge. Having access to 3D printing technology at grass root level allows more students to adopt a practical hand-on approach. Engagement and Interactivity Educators have already witnessed the transformative effect introducing computers that have had in classrooms. 3D printing in education has the same transformative prowess. Introducing new technologies in the curriculum stimulates engagement and interactivity, even for the students who are coping with theoretical aspects of education. Promotes Problem Solving Skills 3D printing in education exposes students to a variety of learning experiences. Observations by leading educators have suggested that using 3D printers promotes development of problem solving skills and skills of persistence and prowess to overcome challenges. Sparks Creativity and Innovation Imparting new ideas and methodologies is easier done in the formative years of children. Empowered students in classrooms and education environments are equipped to solve tomorrow s challenges with creativity and innovation. Schools, universities and other educational institutions ought to introduce a curriculum based around 3D printing.
Advantages of 3D Printers and Project-Based learning Transfer of Knowledge and Skills to Real-World Problems: Learning occurs best when students engage in finding real solutions to real-world problems. If knowledge and skills being taught are supportive of problem-solving efforts outside of the classroom then the goal of developing 21st century skills has been. When teachers introduce student to information, knowledge and skills in the context of problem solving rather than simply as facts, they are much more likely to retain and apply them to problems in new situations in the future. Increased Motivation for Learning: Much can be said for instructional activities that motivate students to want to learn. Spontaneous motivation comes from developing mental abilities. When abilities are maturing, students will seek out stimuli to nourish their abilities. By their nature, integrated STEM projects encourage students imagination and curiosity, thereby increasing their motivation to learn. Improved Math and Science Test Scores: Most researchers have cited benefit from implementing STEAMED-based projects, it is also important to note that several studies document an impact on student achievement. Specificall skyrim research team found that students who participated in the program saw an increase in scores in higher-level mathematical problem solving and scientific process skills.

3D Printing Works At a high level, a 3D printer takes material, usually plastic wrapped on a spool, heats the material, and then fuses the material layer by layer to build a three-dimensional object. The material is extruded, or pushed out and deposited. The 3D Printing Process Printing a three-dimensional model is more complicated than opening up Microsoft Word and printing to your 2D printer. At a high level, to create a 3D model you follow these steps: Find a model or create a model with software. Create an STL file which converts your model into code the 3D printer understands, using some software. Print your 3D model, adjusting the printer as needed. Materials Used in 3D Printing 3D printers use mostly ABS and/or PLA plastic which becomes pliable when heated then solid. There are other possible thermoplastics used. Some printers use metal wire. And newer printers can print ceramics or with food materials. Materials are fed into the printer with a spool that has plastic or other material wound around the spool.
