With the rapid development of science and technology, 3D printing technology, as an emerging manufacturing technology, has shown its unique advantages in many fields. In the field of education and scientific research, 3D printing technology can not only stimulate students' interest in learning, but also help them better understand and master complex scientific concepts. Especially in recent years, the application of 3D printed wood filament in education and scientific research has brought new opportunities for development in this field.

First, 3D printed wood filaments have significant advantages in teaching model production. Traditional teaching models are usually made of plastic or metal, which are not only more expensive, but also have a longer production cycle. Using the 3D printed wood filament, students and teachers can quickly produce a variety of teaching models, such as molecular structures, human organs, mechanical parts and so on. These models are not only intuitive and easy to understand, but also can effectively enhance students' interest and engagement in learning. For example, in a chemistry class, students can more intuitively understand the formation of chemical bonds and the spatial structure of molecules by looking at 3D printed molecular models. In biology classes, 3D printed models of human organs can help students better understand the structure and function of the human body.

Secondly, 3D printed wood filaments are increasingly used in scientific research projects. Researchers can use this technology to quickly produce equipment components needed for experiments, thereby shortening the research and development cycle and reducing research and development costs. For example, in the field of mechanical engineering, researchers can use 3D printed wood filaments to make complex mechanical parts for performance testing and optimization. In the field of materials science, researchers can make samples of new materials through 3D printing technology and conduct various performance tests. These applications not only improve the efficiency of scientific research, but also help promote scientific and technological innovation and development.

In addition, 3D printed wood filaments also play an important role in cultivating students' innovative and practical abilities. By participating in 3D printing projects, students can not only learn relevant theoretical knowledge, but also master practical skills. For example, in STEM education, students can use 3D printing technology to design and make various engineering projects, such as robots, bridge models, etc., thereby deepening their understanding of science, technology, engineering and math concepts. In addition, 3D printing technology can also help students realize creativity and transform their designs into real works, thus stimulating their creativity and innovative spirit.

Finally, the application of 3D printed wood filament in the field of education and scientific research is also reflected in its sustainability and environmental protection. Compared to traditional plastic or metal materials, wood filament is more environmentally friendly and degradable. This not only helps to reduce environmental pollution, but also cultivates students' environmental awareness. Through the use of 3D printed wood filaments, students and teachers can practice green development concepts in teaching and research activities, and jointly promote the sustainable development of society.

In summary, the application of 3D printed wood filament in the field of education and scientific research has a wide range of prospects and far-reaching significance. It can not only improve the teaching effect and scientific research efficiency, but also cultivate students' innovative ability and practical ability, and promote the sustainable development of society. In the future, with the continuous development and improvement of 3D printing technology, its application in the field of education and scientific research will be more diversified and in-depth, bringing more opportunities and challenges to education and scientific research.
