Nowadays, educators have started implementing 3D printing technologies at all levels, from primary to secondary school. 3D printing technologies enable educators to provide students with accurate physical prototypes and, thus, practical, and hands-on knowledge, allowing them to understand scientific concepts. Many countries have started introducing 3D printing technologies in schools and universities. For instance, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) chose several universities and technical schools to subsidize two-thirds of their expenses toward introducing 3D printing technology. Also, following the U.S., Japan joined Britain and Australia in introducing 3D printing technologies in schools and other educational institutions.
Many universities and technical colleges have incorporated 3D printing modules and projects into various courses, such as engineering and applied sciences. The third-level 3D printing module focuses on building 3D printers from scratch and fabricating 3D models using various materials. 3D printing technologies thus aid visual and practical learning across sciences. 3D-printed components are often used as test models for scientific experiments in disciplines such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, and robotics. The use of 3D printers in public libraries helps improve knowledge exchange between learners. Also, university libraries have started maintaining dedicated makerspaces with 3D printers that can be used by all library members.
