3D Printing is an aspiration for many educational institutions. Currently, 3D printing technology is becoming one of the new key technologies. It enables companies to cut costs, shorten their time-to-market, helps them to produce stronger and lighter parts and improve their efficiency. For that reason, it is important that students understand the technology of the future global economy. In the US and other places, already summer camps have been set up to teach 3D printing techniques over the summer. Children from a young age get to explore the subject of additive manufacturing. 3D printing works by starting with a digital model in a 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file and then creating a physical three-dimensional object. An object is scanned - or an existing scan of an object is used, which is processed by a piece of software known as a “slicer.” The slicer converts the model into a series of thin, 2-dimensional layers and produces a file with instructions (G-code)...
