3D Printing to Address Pandemic Challenges: A Project-Based Learning Methodology
Additive manufacturing (AM), broadly known as 3D printing, is transforming how products are designed, produced, and serviced in public health. Recent advances on 3D printing in healthcare have led to lighter, stronger and safer products, reduced lead times and lower costs. However, literature refers that knowledge remains one of the greatest barriers to AM's wider adoption. So, how we leverage the potential of AM to drive innovation is a mandatory topic in science/technology curriculum.
