Being in sectoral and academical events’ agenda, 3D printing was argued over in Berkeley Folklore Meeting last week. In the conference, the future of 3D technology and predictions were evaluated.
3D technology continues to improve in education and academics world. 3D software, modelling and printing education now take place in the programs. Demanded highly in education sector, 3D is included in UC Berkeley University 75th West States Folklore Conference this year.
As 3D printing technology impacts higher education and academic disciplines, we see it emerging as a topic in seemingly unlikely academic spaces. One such space is the Western States Folklore Society’s 75th Annual Meeting last weekend at UC Berkeley. While the meeting program covered everything you can imagine from rituals to culinary tourism and Michelle Obama (and zombies, of course), presented research includes a paper entitled “A New Era of Folk Craft: 3D Printing as Folk Craft and Art” by Kiesha Oliver of Fresno City College.
