United Daily News and Economic Daily New report that in a cabinet meeting, new Minister of Science and Technology Chang San-Cheng proposes to increase access to 3D printing for high school students. It sounds like a progressive policy at first glance, especially since maker culture is popular around the world. 3D printing, in some ways, seems to be the solution for all. 3D printing grows in popularity because designs proliferate after patents expire. Rather than offering 3D print facilities to every high school, it’s better to start by matching maker communities with local schools.
