The use of 3D printers is becoming increasingly prevalent across the workforce, from medicine to confectionary, aerospace to sportswear.  The mere concept of them can seem daunting, and it is therefore easy for school leaders to overlook the benefits a 3D printer can have for their pupils. We’ve put together a list of strong arguments in favor of this fantastic investment in a bid to help you put forward a winning pitch to your school decision makers.  They Can Be Used in Any Subject  Although you may see the triumphs of 3D printing most commonly associated with fields in Science, the use of these printers can be extended to almost any subject in the curriculum. In math, they have been used to help students visualise a particularly difficult concept or graph, with the added benefit of adding an exciting factor to a subject that typically has a ‘boring’ reputation. History lessons could come alive with replicas of ancient artifacts and geography students could visit mountain ranges without leaving the classroom.
