3D Printing Research

3D Printing is Changing… a lot!

For this assignment, you will need to do some research into the amazing, changing world of 3D Printing. 3D Printing is an example of a ‘disruptive technology’ - meaning a technology that has the potential to have a huge impact in how things are done in a lot of different areas.

Your assignment is to:

  1. Research 3D Printing and identify a topic that you want to explore more deeply.

Your chosen topic might be broad (For Example: 3D Printing in Medicine) OR narrow (For Example: 3D Printing of Prosthetics). However, you CANNOT choose a very broad topic such as “3D Printing” or “The Future of 3D Printing”.

  1. Once you have identified your topic, you will create a SHORT Google Slides presentation which includes:
    * Title Page clearly indicating the topic.
    * 3-5 slides which are VISUALLY INTERESTING (relevant photos) and SHORT TEXT to support the visual.
    * Final page with references (NOTE that Google Search results are NOT references.)

Make sure you are respecting Academic Integrity. This means no plagiarism. For a short assignment like this, all the text should be in your own words (NO or very limited use of quotations).
