September 1, 2015
If you were to look ahead 10 or maybe 15 years from now, the education system will likely have undergone a series of seismic changes. As numerous technologies converge, education will be more interactive and hands-on, providing a more intelligent, entertaining way of learning. When I was in school I always had trouble concentrating for more than a couple of minutes. Most of my friends were in the same boat, and so are most children today. It’s not a medical condition like many doctors may tell you, but rather the way children have been for ages. It’s becoming especially difficult for children to sit still and direct their attention towards a lecture when they are so used to the stimulation provided at home by an array of TVs, tablets, computers and smartphones.
- 11 Companies Leading the 3D Bioprinting Space (3dprint.com)
August 13, 2015
Undoubtedly one of the most exciting areas within the 3D printing space is that of bioprinting. Using layer-by-layer fabrication methods, a number of companies are in the process of pushing forward a new paradigm shift within the medical implant, transplantation, and surgical spaces. While the media has mainly focused on Organovo, the company behind the world’s first 3D printable liver tissue, there are actually several other companies involved in this incredible space. Here are 3DPrint.com we thought it would be helpful to underline just a handful of those companies that may be about to change medicine as we know it.

- Professor Creates 3D Printed Volcanoes to Help Populations Prepare for Disaster (3dprint.com)
July 30, 2015
Natural disasters are inevitable in most parts of the world. Thankfully, with increasingly sophisticated technology, we are more equipped to minimize damage and avoid loss of life than ever before. Through 3D printing, Geological Society of America volcanologist Dr. Ian Saginor has made it his mission to prepare people as much as possible for that most terrifying of natural disasters: volcanoes. An associate professor at Keystone College in La Plume, PA, Saginor has partnered with paper-based 3D printer manufacturer Mcor Technologies to create innovative 3D printed volcano hazard map models through the Volcano Terrain Project, which we first saw back in February. He then takes these models to the most vulnerable populations to show them what an eruption near their homes might look like – and how they might prepare for it.

- The Boys & Girls Club Joins Polar 3D for 3D Printing Labs to Kids Across the US (3dprintingindustry.com)
September 1, 2015
It’s never too early to start your 3D printing training. At least that’s what Polar 3D and the Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) believe, which they are proving with their latest announcement. Polar 3D, a 3D printing company that is exclusively focused on bringing this technology to the sector of education, is donating their polar-coordinated printers and building laboratories in various BGCA locations across the United States. The first three labs will be built by Polar 3D in the cities of Washington DC, Cincinnati, and Oregon, hoping to help BGCA promote science, technology, engineering, and innovation to their young members. With the partnership in fast motion, BGCA is already prepared to offer their student members after-school programs related to 3D printing education and training. What makes Polar 3D the ideal candidate for this partnership, aside from their strict mission to focus on improving education, is the incredible convenience and affordability of their printer.

We all know the importance of 3D printers within the education arena. As the technology makes its way into schools around the planet, new applications and curricula continue to be developed to ensure that future generations are up to speed with this incredible technology. While thousands of 3D printers have been set up in public and private schools and universities across the nation over the last couple of years, we are still quite a ways away from mainstream adoption by educators. While China has presented a plan to hopefully place 3D printers into every school in the nation, the US may be lagging behind just a bit.
