Learning begins where imagination becomes tangible.
From this conviction, Johannes Glaser of engineering firm Glaser and Adrian Siebing, lecturer for New Web Technologies at the Service-centric Networking (SNET) group of the Technical University of Berlin, met in the electrical lab in Nordheim.
Amid prototypes, tools and creative ideas, Johannes Glaser handed over a professional fifth-generation MakerBot 3D printer to the department.
This device gives students direct access to additive manufacturing — beyond theoretical concepts. Complex industrial projects at the department can now be not only well thought out but also made tangible within student projects. The ability to realize one’s own ideas directly builds a practice-oriented bridge between teaching and research. In addition to initial experience with 3D printing, students acquire mindsets and working methods that characterize innovative development processes.
The entire department under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Axel Küpper sincerely thanks for this valuable contribution to practice-oriented education.
