Tech literacy is a crucial part of 3d printing, but what does it consist of? Just like our traditional education system tech literacy has levels. An example of this is making some books accessible while others take work with comprehension. Coding is the catch all be all in web 2.0 design while Autocad is the off-line version both should be considered the pinnacle of tech literacy in this day and age. 3d systems booth at the Science and engineering will show off some of the company's educational endeavors. Blokify is a game-like 3 design environment that designed to help literacy. Gaining literacy should be fun and 3d systems wants to aim the public in this general direction.
3d printing is projected to reach a million homes by 2018. How does this scale to similar tech industries? A new console from Sony the PS4 has reached an install base of 7 million after 6 months. In 3d printing we are looking for the same tipping point that drove the Atari 2600 into homes in the early 80s and arcade cabinets as gathering places around the country. We hope that the model can be similarly adopted by 3-printing.
