Visualization is a key component in any educational experience. 3D printing is capable
of providing a tangible, palpable object not only for visualization but for tactile
confirmation of intricacies in construct and property dynamics of surface quality.
A variety of printing materials are available depending on the need and the end use
of the model. Additional post-printing preparation of the model involves sanding,
smoothing, and painting to accentuate the properties of the model and help create
a more accurate representation of the object. What better way to enhance knowledge
than through a handheld 3D print model.
