3D Printing

I think the idea of 3D printing is something that is very exciting to many people, mainly because it is one of those technologies people thought of when imagining "futuristic" technology. That being said, I think it might be difficult to use in a classroom just because it is relatively new. It would be a great tool for printing out replicas and manipulative but with how long it takes to print a single item, it may not be very practical for a whole school. I imagine as it develops (like all technology) it will become easier and faster. It will be very exciting to see how it is used in schools as time goes on and the technology if 3D printing is refined.
