It’s valuable to learn 3D printing because 3D printing is an important emerging technology that will play a key role in the way manufacturers create products in the years ahead. Learning about 3D printing may help you become fluent with the programs, machines, and processes necessary to do 3D printing. Additionally, when you learn 3D printing, you'll better understand the key aspects of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (S.T.E.M.) system of learning. This will help you think creatively or logically while learning how to solve problems and work in group environments.
