论文摘要
提供了有关在大学/大学级别的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育的背景下的3D打印（又称添加剂制造）的概述。绝大多数引用的论文报告了自制模型，教师及其学生通过各种路线创建了必要的3D打印文件。 Gartner Consulting Company的预测，从2014年7月开始，教室3D打印将花费十多年的时间，以在其标志性可见性与时间（HYPE Cycle）图表之一（HYPE Cycle）图表中达到其生产力的高原。本书的参考书目总结了3D印刷的STEM（包括纳米科学和纳米工程）教育的最新技术，大约是在Gartner预测后的大约四年。本评论的主要部分描述了大学级教室3D打印的当前方法和最佳实践。详细信息主要针对本书的作者是作者和合着者的论文。此处详细介绍了从非常大的开放式数据库中的晶体信息框架文件（CIF）到原子级晶体和分子结构模型的3D打印文件的直接路线。由于方法和最佳实践的发展是炒作周期倒数第二阶段的典型活动，因此我们得出的结论是，（i）Gartner的预测低估了大学教育工作者对学生的创造力，机智和承诺的承诺，并且（II）教室3D印刷将比下一个十年来更重要（至少比美国人都更重要的是，与美国相比（至少是在美国）的范围更早。附录提供了当代3D打印技术的简要审查。
An overview concerning 3D printing (a.k.a. additive manufacturing) within the context of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education at the college/university level is provided. The vast majority of quoted papers report self-made models for which faculty members and their students have created the necessary 3D print files themselves by various routes. The prediction by the Gartner consulting company that it will take more than ten years from July 2014 onwards for Classroom 3D Printing to reach its Plateau of Productivity in one of their hallmark Visibility versus Time (Hype Cycle) graphs is critically assessed. The bibliography of this book chapter sums up the state-of-the art in 3D printing for STEM (including nano-science and nano-engineering) education at the college level approximately four years after Gartner's prediction. Current methodologies and best practices of college-level Classroom 3D printing are described in the main section of this review. Detailed information is given mainly for those papers in which the authors of this book chapter are authors and co-authors. A straightforward route from crystallographic information framework files (CIFs) at a very large open-access database to 3D print files for atomic-level crystal and molecule structure models is described here in some detail. Because the development of methodologies and best practices are typical activities of the penultimate stage of a Hype Cycle, we conclude that (i) Gartner's prediction underestimates the creativity, resourcefulness, and commitment of college educators to their students and that (ii) Classroom 3D Printing will be a widespread reality significantly earlier than the middle of the next decade (at least in the USA as more than one half of the relevant/quoted papers originated there). An appendix provides a brief technical review of contemporary 3D printing techniques.
