Mech Solutions and Kodak’s innovative product, Kodak Portrait with Cloud 3D Print, has recently earned certification from STEM.org, a prominent organization in STEM education. This easy-to-use, all-in-one desktop 3D printer allows students to bring their ideas to life. Mech Solutions, a leader in the field of 3D printing, has partnered with Kodak to enhance innovation and provide users with an exceptional 3D printing experience using Cloud 3D Print.
The Potential of 3D Printing in Manufacturing and Education
The potential of 3D printing to revolutionize manufacturing is immense. Unlike traditional methods, 3D printing makes it possible to create complex shapes and designs easily and at a lower cost. This opens up new possibilities for industries like medicine, aerospace, and fashion, where customized and specialized products are often required. With 3D printing, the only limit is your imagination!
The use of 3D printers in education has opened up new possibilities for students to learn and experiment with innovative ideas. With 3D printing, students can design and create their models, bringing their ideas to life in a tangible way. This hands-on approach to learning has been shown to increase engagement and interest in STEM subjects, as well as develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, 3D printing can be used to create models and prototypes for various projects, including scientific experiments and engineering designs, providing students with valuable experience in these fields.
A Look into STEM
STEM.org is a privately-held organization that has been operating since 2001. It specializes in STEM education research and credentialing, and has played a key role in the overall growth and proliferation of the movement. For example, it was involved in early work on the 2005 STEM Congressional Caucus. The team at STEM.org supports top brands, organizations, and thousands of educators worldwide. They are dedicated to providing the best in pedagogics and andragogic to ensure effective STEM education.
STEM.org evaluates educational products and services to ensure they meet rigorous standards for STEM learning and are effective tools for engaging students in STEM activities. The accreditation process involves a thorough evaluation of the company’s product, curriculum, and support services to ensure they meet the standards for quality and effectiveness in STEM education. Certification from STEM.org is highly regarded in the education community and demonstrates a commitment to promoting STEM education.
The Benefits of Cloud-Based 3D Printing Solutions for Education
With an understanding of the advantages of Cloud 3D Printing in STEM education, Mech Solution approached STEM.org to pursue the following objectives:
- Allowing students to access 3D printing from anywhere with an internet connection, making it possible to print designs remotely and reducing barriers to entry, particularly for schools that may not have the budget or physical space for a traditional 3D printer.
- Facilitating collaboration between students and teachers, as well as with other students and educators from around the world. This enables students to share their designs and ideas, receive feedback, and collaborate on projects in real time.
- Cloud 3D printing technology is used in a range of industries, including healthcare, aerospace, and manufacturing. By using cloud 3D printing in K-12 education, students can gain exposure to this technology and develop skills that are relevant to the workforce of the future.
- To bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, students can use 3D printing to create prototypes, models, and functional parts, allowing them to see the practical application of their learning.
Overall, cloud 3D printing technology provides students and educators with access to a powerful tool for understanding different concepts during their day-to-day projects and experiments. Providing access to these technologies at a young age can help students better understand study materials and enhance their skills. Such activities promote the younger generations toward an incredible future of technology.
And, after a long rigorous process, Cloud 3D Print and Kodak Portrait got certified with STEM.org to innovate the future with a never-ending learning experience.
All thanks to STEM.org
