These days, you are more likely to create a 3D model of an object, especially if you are going to 3D print it. After all, the 3D printer software is going to expect a model.

On the 3D printer board is a tiny piece of software that does very little. It’s a bit like a device driver for the printer. All by itself, it does nothing.

And considering how a 3D printer’s programming usually contains as many as 100 adjustable parameters, this makes recyclable workarounds a difficult sell.

UltiMaker’s MakerBot Grants support 3D printing in education, giving schools tools to inspire STEM innovation.

Here are key strategies to create a successful 3D printing program in educational institutions, fostering innovation and enhancing student learning experiences.
