Although 3D printing has been around for a few years, its potential capabilities continue to amaze academics and consumers alike. Jonathan Moore, an instructor-in-residence in the department of Operations and Information Management (OPIM) said the use of 3D printers to print prosthetics, at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, continues to impress him.
“Is there a new business model out there? How does this affect business and technology? These are the important things to know about 3D printing,” Moore said.
At an informative workshop last month, the OPIM department educated about 20 UConn students about 3D printing and its potential effect on businesses.
