Abstract

3D printing is a great revolution, and its presence is getting stronger in industry and education. The three-dimensional printing process starts by feeding the 3D printer with print material, making sure that the material is chosen to suit the needs of the print object. It then prepares, adjusts and clears the print surface, and once the digital 3D drawing is transferred to the printer, the machine automatically creates the desired 3D object. Three-dimensional printing and the surrounding environment make it easier for learners to learn more complex concepts and provide them with new "tools". Finally, the proposed Education Program for Educators was based on the philosophy of adult education programs.
