The current Covid-19 pandemic has challenged modern industries with its swiftness and massive scale. By contrast, the emerging 3D printing technology effectively withstands the virus by forming a distributed production network.
Jon Goebel aims to change the perspective and discussion of the role coral plays in the marine ecosystem by 3D printing a larger-than-life coral reef sculpture.
3D printing technology provides opportunities for more practice and projects for teachers and students in higher education settings, and will inevitably create a whirlwind of interdisciplinary and practice-oriented innovation in the entire education field.
