"Layer by layer, Keven Rinaman's 3DU walks you through everything an educator could ever need in learning the practical, creative possibilities that await our classrooms thanks to the power of 3D printing. Far beyond mere trinkets and disposable doodads, 3DU is loaded with inspiring stories of how this powerful next-generation technology is quite literally helping our students build a better world. From scale replicas of famous attractions to practical solutions that run the gamut from prosthetics to Parkinson's research, this is the kind of book that goes beyond a ho-hum "how to" and challenges us to learn the why, too. It's a joy to imagine what incredible things might come from seeing the lessons from this book put into play."
