3D Printing - Create Your Own Thing!

3D printing is a technology that’s proving useful—invaluable even—to many industries. Some of these include practical applications in medical, aerospace, energy, and military fields. Anyone can learn how to print with a 3D printer, but there’s so much more to it than pressing the ‘PRINT’ button on a computer. In fact, it’s going to revolutionize education by teaching and training students to become familiar with all its remarkable applications and future potential.

There’s already an increase in well-paid technology jobs worldwide. The more students learn about new technologies, the better places they’ll be able to compete. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in computer-related areas will grow somewhere in the neighborhood of 12% within the next decade. To put that into some perspective, this will add almost half a million new jobs on top of current vacancies. There will be openings for complex 3D modeling, exploration of new applications, and research into using new materials.
