3D Printing
Professional development
3D printing can help lower teacher’s feeling of anxiety when teaching complex science and biology concepts since it helps students visualize what they are learning. Link
After being taught about digital literacy, teachers felt more confident embarking on their journey to learn about 3D printing and how to teach it to their students. Link
The use of 3D printing made lessons enjoyable and encouraged future teachers to learn more about their future teaching fields in regards on 3D printing and how they can implement it in their future classrooms. Link
3D printing create hands-on activities that can help students connect with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. It also develops key skills required in the 21st century. The more the students learned about 3D printing through activities, the more students showed interest in STEM careers and subjects. Link

Inclusivity
In Occupational Therapy, 3D printing allows physical therapists and assistants to create client centered assistive devices at lower costs. Link
3D printing can create accommodations for visually impaired students. In History class, the flexibility of 3D printing, allowed teachers to create different types of maps with Braille. 3D printing can also translate to original relics, murals, and paintings with the help of scaling and different textures. Link
By suing these open-source digital design files, educators and specialists can integrate students with disabilities with their other peers in gym classes. Link
Health concerns
Some assignments or projects can take various hours or days to print. This means that the printer is going to be releasing more nanoparticulates while also consuming more electricity which gives 3D printing a large ecological footprint. Link
When plastic materials were melted through the extruder, commercially available 3D printers produce hazardous levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Link
Making fashion more sustainable by creating and using only what is needed. Link
New Medium to Create Art
The possibility to create or customize clothes with different materials. Link
By reducing the clothes that are made, we contribute to sustainability by reducing consumption and textile waste. This could be a more eco-friendly approach to fashion
