Additive manufacturing in education

Abstract

Additive manufacturing, or better known as 3D printing today is one technology that is rapidly growing in several countries. This technology is increasingly having an important role not only in business and everyday products, but in the world of education. 3D printer technology can be a medium of learning in the world of education in the implementation of the design in 2D and 3D design drawing students majoring in mechanical engineering. Therefore, research is needed to understand the use of new technologies in education. The purpose of this study was to analyze and gather information about the latest technology used by 3D printing. This research method using a literature review journals in the last 5 years. Findings from the literature review indicates the type of the latest technology used in 3D printing in manufacturing system design using computer-aided design (CAD). Overall, this review could be further research in instructional media in vocational education.
