Using 3D Printers as an educational resource:

How can 3D printing be used in education? We want to demonstrate how 3D printing could be used as a tool in education by creating prototypes of various structures with which teachers could show students a number of principles. Our first thoughts revolved around biology classes, a teacher could make a 3d print of a cell or the organ structure of an elephant for example, and the quick nature of 3D printing means they could create physical demos with any given lesson plan.
