In recent years, the use of 3D printers has gained a great prominence in the corporate and academic circles. Today, more and more, 3D printing technology is approaching the end consumer. However, the high cost required to purchase this equipment delays, or even prevents, a greater diffusion in academic circles and in low-income communities. In order to overcome this difficulty, this project proposes the development and construction of low-cost 3D printers. Specifically, the strategy adopted here uses low-cost components and reused scrap materials, resulting in a final price of approximately only 30% compared to conventional 3D printers currently available on the market. Additionally, this project addresses the making of educational prototypes, didactic and multidisciplinary kits, using 3D printing technology. Thus, it is expected that from this rapid prototyping strategy, students of different school levels, internal and external to IFSC, will benefit from access to new technologies that assist them in the teaching-learning process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
