3D printing technology is a versatile tool in education for both teachers and students. It provides hands-on learning experiences across various subjects and fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Here are several ways 3D printers are being used in educational settings.
Mathematics Models
Print geometric shapes, fraction models, or number lines to help visualize mathematical concepts.
Geographical Models
To support geography lessons, design and print topographical maps or 3D models of countries, continents, or famous landmarks.
Engineering Challenges
Students can design and print parts for simple machines (like gears, pulleys, and levers) or build model bridges, towers, or vehicles.
Robotics Components
Print parts for DIY robotics projects like frames, wheels, or joints to create custom robots or automated devices.
3D Puzzles
Create challenging 3D puzzles or brain teasers to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

FLSUN’s Back-to-School Sales
To make 3d printing technology accessible to more students and schools, FLSUN offers unbeatable discounts during this back-to-school season. From August 31 to September 15, you can get FLSUN V400 for $459 and FLSUN SR for $299, saving you $390 and $170 off the standard price. These two printers have differences in the machines themselves and meet the needs of students or schools at different stages.
FLSUN SR is more suitable for elementary schools with its easy-to-use functionality and cost-effectiveness. The printer is designed for beginners and has user-friendly interfaces and simplified processes, making it relatively easy for kids to use with guidance. At $299, the machine can be bought for educational purposes without breaking the school’s bank. Safety is also a concern for more minor students, so SR uses delta design to ensure stable movement and prevent injury to these students.
FLSUN V400 is a popular choice for older students or high schools due to its high-speed printing and versatile performance. It can print at a max speed of 600 mm/s, which is beneficial in an educational setting where multiple prints are needed within a limited timeframe. Its large build space of 300 x 410 mm supports a wide range of educational projects, making it versatile for various subjects and disciplines. Additionally, V400 supports various filament types, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and more, which is perfect for older students to explore more printing possibilities.
