The graph shows over 95% of students know 3D printers. I think that's because they can easily get a lot of information through social media. Also, our school has many 3D printers, so they can use it easily.
As we expected, many students associate with content creators when they hear about 3D printers because of being affected by social media. In addition, they have positive impressions such as "convenient tools" or "can print everything", too. On the other hand, some people have negative impressions such as "expensive and having a high threshold" or "not sturdy."
