3D printing in education brings abstract concepts to life. Students can design and print real objects – making learning more interactive, visual, and engaging across disciplines like science, engineering, and design.
They integrate it into STEAM courses, project-based learning, and lab activities. Teachers also use 3D printing to create custom models and teaching aids, while students can design prototypes.
Students and educators can print with ABS, PLA, TPU, and rigid or flexible photopolymers, depending on whether they need toughness, color realism, or fine detail.
Yes. Government agencies, nonprofits, and corporate partners often offer grants for schools investing in STEM and digital fabrication.
Educators should ensure proper printer placement, good ventilation, use of safe materials, and clear student training. Several FDM printers are also GREENGUARD Certified per UL 2904 for safe classroom use.
Custom tactile models, assistive devices, and individualized learning tools created with 3D printing can make lessons more accessible to students with visual, motor, or cognitive challenges.
Typical barriers include equipment cost, teacher training, and maintenance. Stratasys offers onboarding resources and educator support to help overcome these challenges.
Start by contacting our team. We’ll help assess curriculum goals, recommend hardware and materials, and provide training and resources tailored to your institution’s needs.
Familiarity with 3D printing technology equips students with valuable skills for careers in engineering, design, healthcare, and other fields where this technology is increasingly important.
