However, its educational potential depends not only on access to the technology, but also on teachers\u2019 experience, their perceived self-efficacy, and their ability to integrate 3D printing meaningfully into teaching. This contribution focuses on how primary and lower-secondary school teachers perceive the possibilities of using 3D printing and 3D-printed models, what benefits and barriers they associate with their use, and what forms of support they consider important for their implementation in practice. The study draws on a questionnaire survey, teacher interviews, classroom observations, and selected focus group data. Particular attention is paid to teachers\u2019 self-efficacy, their practical experience with 3D printing, the perceived educational benefits of 3D-printed models, and their preferences regarding further professional development. The findings are discussed with regard to the possible application of 3D printing in the context of STEM education. The results may contribute to the design of training and methodological support aimed at the meaningful integration of 3D printing into school practice.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3D tisk v kontextu STEM vzd\u011bl\u00e1v\u00e1n\u00ed: zku\u0161enosti, bari\u00e9ry a pot\u0159eby u\u010ditel\u016f<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D tisk nab\u00edz\u00ed mo\u017enosti propojen\u00ed p\u0159\u00edrodov\u011bdn\u00fdch, technologick\u00fdch, technick\u00fdch a matematick\u00fdch oblast\u00ed prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm navrhov\u00e1n\u00ed, tvorby a vyu\u017e\u00edv\u00e1n\u00ed model\u016f ve v\u00fduce.
