As the year comes to an end and news outlets begin to focus on top trends for 2012, 3D printing is still finding its way into the headlines. Many businesses and government agencies are really embracing 3D printing technology, and are taking notice that we are not educating future innovators (students) within our current education system curriculum. Our hope for 2013 is that 3D printing continues to expand, but more important we want to see more students become involved in STEM education activities. What are your hopes and dreams for 2013?
