and belonging in engineering culture. The inequality of women in engineering has beenattributed to persistent male-dominated cultures and women’s difficulty establishing themselvesas legitimate engineers. In 1993, McIlwee [1] found that men’s identities in engineering centeredaround “tinkering” hobbies and passion for technology. Women’s interest in engineering, incontrast, was typically more academic and less “hands on”. In her ethnographic work withengineering students, Tonso [2] argued that despite a wide range of normative engineeringidentities, none of them were associated with women. Ten years later, McLoughlin [3] arguedthat while some women were drawn to engineering through the “traditional” pathway of passionfor technology, there is

It is one of the techniques used for 3Dprinting.
