Wow! This is how I reacted when I discovered this astounding
example of what can be done with 3D printing. This video
completely moved my thinking beyond ideas about Playful Learning
and a Makerspace in our School Library to knowing that the
future can be very different because of maker-inspired
technologies. So really – lets inspire our students in
Makerspaces – because their ideas may well become the future
development that changes the world (or a part of it) in some
way. When 3D printing can make Magic Arms you know there’s been
an extraordinary shift in 3D fabrication. It seems that as 3D
printers have gotten more affordable, an entirely new community
has sprung up around the idea of designing, sharing and printing
physical objects. The Journal of Peer Production recently
completed the first EVER survey on the growing 3D printer
community.The full survey is available online from the Journal
of Peer Production.
