Aside from their lower cost, the main benefit of these devices is thatthey can be specifically designed for unique applications in the lab. 3D printing also allows theuser to create complex structures and shapes that cannot be fabricated by other traditional methods.

mistakes may be critical to their success. In many subjectsmistakes are a sign of failure. Students who fail to memorize facts and procedures (e.g. spelling,grammar, multiplication tables) are less apt, yet in being a programmer may require analternative measure of success than counting correct and incorrect attempts. Programming doesrequire the memorization of details but equally requires improvement through trial and error.Papert et al. in the 70’s observed students learned through experimentation and play, noting“[p]resumably kids need this experience, no matter what the medium in which they are working”(Papert & others, 1978, p. 71).
