our society is imperative. Inrecognition of this problem, the objective of this paper is to present the geothermal energy as oneof the clean and sustainable form of renewable energy that uses the heat stored in the Earth as itssource of energy. Its first commercial uses dates back to the early 1800’s and has continued togrow throughout the years. One of its most known and common uses is at a small scale as a heatsource for residences. It can also be used at a much larger scales. There are several questions thatcome up with large scale geothermal energy model. How much energy can be produced? Cangeothermal energy produce enough energy for a whole town, city, or country? What is the initialcost and lifelong cost of geothermal energy? Are there

In addition,students should be able to print their own design using standard or alternative plastic materials withspecific attributes such as flexibility, transparency, electrical conductivity or any other material thatis compatible with the printer. Of utmost importance, this model has to be able to be escalated to acampus-wide system to allow access to the entire student body.IntroductionThe earliest 3D printing technology was developed in the late 1980’s and was referred to as rapidprototyping technology. The idea of rapid prototyping came to be from the need for quicker andcost-efficient design testing for product development within the manufacturing industry. It wasn’tuntil 2009
