Learning begins where imagination becomes tangible.
From this conviction, Johannes Glaser of Ingenieurbüro Glaser and Adrian Siebing, lecturer for New Web Technologies at the Service-centric Networking (SNET) group of Technical University of Berlin, met in the electrical lab in Nordheim.
Amid prototypes, tools and creative ideas, Johannes Glaser handed over a professional 5th-generation MakerBot 3D printer to the department.
This device gives students direct access to additive manufacturing-beyond theoretical concepts. Complex industry projects at the department can now be not only conceptually developed within student projects but also made practically tangible. The ability to realize one's own ideas directly creates a practice-oriented bridge between teaching and research. In addition to first experiences in 3D printing, students acquire mindsets and working methods characteristic of innovative development processes.
The entire department under the direction of Prof. Dr. Axel Küpper sincerely thanks for this valuable contribution to practice-oriented education.
