Prof. Ben King, Chemistry
“One of the very hard things about teaching
chemistry is explaining that molecules have shape.
This basically removes that obstacle ... so it will
change how we teach chemistry and how we look at
molecules on a daily basis. It's also just plain fun."

“I think 3D printing is awesome. Now if I can’t find a [math educational] resource, I can just make one.”

Questions to ask your users
• Do you want to print metal parts? ABS plastic?
• Multiple colors? Simultaneously?
• Big parts? (How big?)• “Real” parts? (dropped, drilled,
machined?)
• Interconnected moving assemblies?
