Feature: MIT From CAD to Product: Design Education with 3D Printing
Richard Huizar has always loved building things. That’s why he chose to major in mechanical engineering, and also why he’d like to pursue a career in product design.
Design Studio: Objects and Interaction, a class at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is helping Huizar gain the skills he needs to achieve that goal. The class mixes classic principles of design with advanced prototyping technologies to inspire students to think beyond their discipline.
eBook: Large Format 3D Printers For Education and Research
Read how Kingston University, Helmut Schmidt University and more are using BigRep 3D printers for their classrooms and research. Universities and colleges constantly commit resources to being future-ready institutions that prepare students for careers of dynamic change with relevant knowledge and life-long skills. Additive manufacturing has proven integral for many institutions aiming for superior teaching and experimentation, for a variety of disciplines, by balancing the modern accessibility of in-house prototyping and production with the relatively low ongoing costs of large-format 3D printers.
Universities have grown beyond training engineering students with additive manufacturing exclusively. Less anticipated disciplines have learned to take advantage of large-format 3D printing in novel ways including business management, law, and business informatics students, preparing them for the new industrial revolution. Find out how prominent institutions are capitalizing on large-format 3D printing for better learnings.
