As we were going through the most talked about 3D printing and STEM education news this week we realized that the top articles all came from well-known and well-respected news sources (MIT, Harvard, The Economist, etc.). It is quite exciting to see that 3D printing news has the attention of a wide range of media outlets. Just a year ago, 3D printing was rarely talked about in mainstream media and most of the articles out there were from niche blogs. Things can really change quickly in a year! Do you ever sit and wonder where 3D printing will be in the next 5, 10 or 15 years? We do!
