CURRENT CONVERSATIONS REVOLVE AROUND THE IDEA OF A PRESENT KNOWLEDGE-

BASED ECONOMY.

W H E N W I L L 3 D P R I N T I N G M A K E I T S M A R K O N Y O U ?

→ WHAT DOES A DESIGN- BASED ECONOMY LOOK

LIKE?

PREPARE FOR A REVOLUTIONARY MARKET SHIFT.

An increasingly active learning

environment — in 3-D

instead of 2-D.

Be a prosumer. Create your physical

world in a highly iterative, complex,

Collaborate beyond classroom

walls. Exchange open- source blueprints: www.thingiverse.

Imagination and creativity: Think 3D printing on

the moon.

Innovation and its ethical concerns: 3D

printed guns are already in the

works.Critical thinking and problem solving.

In 2010, an 83-year-old woman became the first to have a 3D-printed jaw

transplant.

Collaboration. Dutch architects are working on a

3D-printed house that can be

assembled in one day.

Entrepreneurship and leadership.

Think cubify.com.
