The aim of this work is to examine to what extent Digital Manufacturing Technologies
are incorporated in Greek Education System. The research documents (1)where and how 3D
printers and laser cutters are currently being used in the Greek education system, (2)the
learning outcomes of the use of Digital Manufacturing Technologies alongside 3D Computer
Aided Design (CAD) in education programs, and (3)the results of the evaluation of Life-Long
Learning programs in 3D CAD accompanied by 3D printing and laser cutting for product
design and prototyping that International Hellenic University has delivered.
The research showed that the implementation of these technologies in greek public
schools is still at an early stage but in the last few years there has been an increasing interest
in 3d printing and many primary and secondary schools are acquiring 3d printers for
educational purposes. In Universities, the use is more common in Engineering Schools where
digital manufacturing technologies are used mainly for student project work, research and
internal applications of the school labs. It is noted, though, that many academic institutions
have incorporated courses that use Digital Manufacturing Technologies. Through analysing
the questionnaires of past students of such courses, a number of learning outcomes were
identified, including creativity, design skills, excitement, knowledge, know-how,
understanding and increased interest.
