FlashForge USA reveals how 3D printing is helping train the STEM students of the future

桌面3D打印机制造商FlashForge USA已经提供了有关其最新产品如何帮助培训下一代科学家,工程师和数学家的见解。

在发布时,FlashForge Artemiswas marketed as a beginner-friendly ‘workhorse,’ capable of meeting the needs of consumers and students alike. Since then, the firm says the Artemis has helped drive 3D printing adoption at leading US learning providers, and莱斯大学, 这Massachusetts University of Technology(MIT), and theUniversity of Southern Californianow teach with its technologies.

Flashforge USA的教育产品

Flashforge USA以其Creator 3D打印机而闻名,该打印机于2011年推出,并配有木制框架和开源设计。从那以后,该公司越来越针对商业级市场,推出了Creator Max,,,,Creator Max 2,,,,andCreator 3 Pro,以及其新的旗舰机器,创建者4

除了这个投资组合扩展外,美国Flashforge美国已经建立了业务。该公司首先通过其在线商店销售,但此后将其足迹扩展到了亚马逊和B&H等零售店。Flashforge USA还经营多个区域网站,每个网站都提供了一个特定区域的门户网站,用于了解其产品并解决保修查询。

One area that the firm has targeted its products, in particular, is education, a sector in which it believes 3D printing can help advance students’ creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and problem-solving skills. To help realize the technology’s potential in academia, FlashForge USA now not only offers to ship custom orders to schools, but it has launched a machine that’s targeted towards such applications.

Introducing the FlashForge Artemis

Flashforge Artemis于2022年9月推出,是一种融合细丝制造(FFF)系统,将用户友好性与高度的可靠性和印刷质量配对。在某种程度上,由于其直接驱动器挤出机系统,该机器能够实现这一目标,该系统可以加热到500°F。这样可以确保使用柔性材料(例如TPU)进行打印时,可以确保光滑的丝状进料。

Capacity-wise, the Artemis features a 190 x 195 x 200 mm build volume, making it more than large enough to meet academic 3D printing applications. To help more advanced users customize the machine to their specific use case, the system also comes with glass and PEI magnetic build plates as standard, with one giving models a smoother bottom, and the other being easier to bend and remove models from.

但是,该机器是为易用性而广泛构建的,它具有Wi-Fi兼容性的运输,以及4.3英寸的触摸屏,可以调整设置或更新固件直观且易于执行。FlashForge FlashPrintalso offers users a native slicer with model cutting, rotation optimization, and auto repair functionality, though adopters can use a third-party program of their choice if they desire.

Becoming a trusted US tech provider

When FlashForge USA launched the original Creator, 3D printing wasn’t as commonly found in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Over the past decade, however, educators have begun to acknowledge the importance of equipping the next generation with knowledge of advanced technologies, and 3D printing has started creeping into more K-12 curriculums.

This shift was brought into sharp focus by President Obama’sSTEM For All campaign,,,,which emphasized the importance of every American child having access to a high-quality STEM education for both their future and that of the USA.

With there now being around 90 selective public STEM high schools in the country, FlashForge has set out to help equip even more institutions with the tools needed to support this initiative. Primarily the firm has done so viaFlashforge教育,,,,a program that has seen leading US universities begin adopting its machines over other brands, based on the quality and pricing of its offering.

尽管这些举措是由对Flashforge美国更广泛产品的需求驱动的,但毫无疑问,stem.org实施Artemis在其教育扩展中发挥了关键作用。向前迈进,该公司现在致力于通过与之合作,将其努力驱动3D打印在该领域的可访问性。Learnbylayers

该平台本身是由老师开始的,为初学者到中级用户提供了课程计划,教育工作者可以将其作为STEM课程的一部分部署。Flashforge USA说,除了易于操作的3D打印机外,这雷电竞app下载些课程计划提供了一个方便的“包装”,该计划准备在学校和其他教育机构推出。
