<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria,serif">This report looks at
how and how often American college students use additive manufacturing
equipment, popularly known as 3D printing. 
The study gives detailed data on the percentage and kind of students who
use 3D printers in the academic library, in overall university facilities, in
their own homes, and in other domeciles – with detailed data sets for use in
each of these and other places.</p>

the extent of use, reporting minutes of use per month, broken down by type of
student, by gender, age, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, religión,
academic major, income level, school size, tuition level and public/private

questions, students discuss how they use 3D printing on campus and their hopes

the type of input materials preferred by students, and their overall
satisfaction level with the provision and quality of additive manufacturing
