Is 3D printing important? Is it just another fad? Something that technology enthusiasts are interested in, but everyday people won’t need, much less use? Not at all! Engineers and designers have been using 3D printers for more than 30 years, but only recently have these versatile machines made their way into the public eye. Their seemingly overnight spike in popularity is due to an increase in accessibility, made possible by a variety of factors.
Why is 3D printing important? Simply put, it has the ability to transform consumerism. By empowering people to build their goods, unprecedented customization and a significant shift in manufacturing power is possible. The technology is here to stay, and will only become more commonplace as it continues to be refined.
In collaboration with our visual arts department, both Tech Theater students and Visual Arts students will be taking advantage of 3D printing to create remarkable products. The world of tech and visual arts, known for embracing the newest trends, has produced stylish set designs as well as innovative works of art. With the use of a 3D printer, our students can collaborate on design to create props that are more artistically inspired than its conventional counterparts, and lighter too – one of the benefits of being printed.
