Abstract

This research proposed the design and development of the web-based teleoperation control system for learning of 3D prototype designing and printing. The system was used as a supplementary education tool that integrated between technology development and learning approaches such as blended learning, project-based learning, and creative-based learning. The proposed system provided a sharing resource and resource utilization via the computer network. The students could access to learn, design, and observe the real process of 3D prototyping via the web pages. The system allowed the user to print 3D prototype via uploading a CAD file to the web server. The CAD file was then approved to be printed as a 3D prototype by the teacher and the admin. Afterward, the system managed the printing queue and displayed 3D printer status including video feedback from the 3D printer for the user. The actual teleoperated 3D printing system was installed at the FIBO building in Thailand and it could be accessed via the website. The proposed system has been used by 265 participants from 5 regions of Thailand, including Thai high school students, vocational students, and teachers. The experimental results showed that the learning achievement of students got improvement up to 30.13% by comparing average T-scores of pretest and posttest. The teachers and students showed a very good level of satisfaction on using the proposed teleoperation system for learning of 3D prototype designing and printing. Finally, this proposed system utilized the advance technology to increase the self-motivation in learning and promoted the concept of resource sharing in order to reduce the educational inequality. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
