 Background
Background 3D in education refers to the integration of three-dimensional (3D) elements
into educational environments to enhance the learning experience. This can involve the use
of 3D graphics, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other immersive
technologies.. Here are several ways in which background 3D is being employed in
education:
1.Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) :
Immersive Simulations: 3D simulations provide students with realistic, interactive
environments for hands-on learning. For example, students studying biology might explore
a virtual ecosystem or dissect a virtual specimen.
2.STEM Education:
Interactive Models: 3D models can be used to illustrate complex scientific concepts in
subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Students can manipulate and
explore these models for a deeper understanding.

 Technological aspects
3D printing is an emerging educational technology that is said to prepare
learners for a more technologically designed world. In this review, 3D printing
studies are analyzed to identify the dominant theoretical approaches and
learning outcomes associated with 3D printing in education.
3D printing sounds like something from science fiction, but the process is similar
to that of CNC machining, where billets are cut into specific shapes and
products. But rather than cutting, it prints.
A 3D printer works by ‘printing’ objects–but instead of using ink, it uses more
substantive materials–plastics, metal, rubber, and the like. It scans an object–or
takes an existing scan of an object–and slices it into layers it can then convert
into a physical object.
The result is a product that while not as intricate, durable, or functional as the
real-world equivalent, is otherwise a real thing that didn’t exist 30 seconds
before you printed it.
 Technological aspects
It offers design flexibility - 3D printing provides students with a single material (filament)
that can take any number of shapes and sizes. A 3D-printed piece can be an attachment or
adaption for an unfinished prototype, increasing the efficiency of design and production.
Students are not left pondering which materials, parts or scraps they need to acquire to
bring their ideas to life.
It doesn’t have to break the budget - When thinking about adding new technology,
budget is always a consideration. And unexpected costs too often leave teachers footing
the bill. Only the exact amount of filament needed is used to successfully build a model,
meaning there is virtually no waste or scrap in material.
It creates a direct connection between a problem to a solution - Social media and
other digital design forums keep students and teachers constantly connected to new
information and ideas. Students can search for design blueprints of an idea they have in
mind, or, conversely, come across someone who needs help.

Hands-On Learning and Prototyping

3D printing enables students to create physical models and
prototypes. As the technology becomes more accessible,
educators may increasingly use 3D printing as a hands-on
tool for students to bring their ideas to life, fostering
creativity and problem-solving skills.
