3D Printing

My students couldn't get enough of 3D printing.  Students used  the 3DC app for iPad (formerly 3D Creationist) and designed projects faster than I could print them.  Some faculty expressed concern that we were spending a lot of time printing lots of plastic crap.  While I could see her point, students who otherwise didn't see themselves as creative or as creators in general were really getting into it.  The 3D printer was often like a fish tank in the way it mesmerized anyone watching it.  Cool stuff.
