The methodology presented in this material demonstrates how 3D printing can be integrated into education to foster creativity, problem-solving, and STEM learning.
It is structured into three interconnected modules:
1. The first introduces the principles of 3D printing, its potential applications, and the safe use of printers and materials in schools;
2. The second focuses on digital design and slicing, guiding teachers and students step by step from idea to printable model using accessible software;
3. The third presents subject-based projects that apply 3D printing across disciplines.
By combining theoretical insights with hands-on experimentation, the methodology offers teachers a clear, practical framework to inspire active learning and help students turn abstract concepts into tangible outcomes.
