Over the past ten years, I have become increasingly interested in the potential for authentic PBL experiences to increase student engagement and learning. These are exciting times in many schools where a vibrant maker culture is meeting innovative technologies to facilitate these experiences while allowing students the chance to create impressive authentic products (presentations, apps, PSA’s, etc.). In recent years, more and more schools have hoped for this same potential in 3D printing. In many settings, however, printers sit gathering dust a year after purchase for want of educational uses for this exciting new technology.
