Using 3D Printing in education holds great potential to transform how knowledge is transmitted and generated: having access to a 3D printer can turn a classroom into an interactive, learning-by-doing, creative environment. 3D Printing can be used to make tangible models that help visualize and understand abstract concepts, reveal spatial phenomena, demonstrate physical or mechanical functionalities and much more. As 3D data is becoming increasingly available, this applies to people of all ages, across disciplines.
