“What MakerBot has done has fundamentally transformed the way we approach education,” he said. “We are using the tool to teach the students how to think, how to react, and how to make critical decisions.” 
Two great quotes. I currently have a few students in class that have their own 3D printers at home.  It is crazy to think what these devices hold for the future of printing. Being able to print basic repair parts for projects around the house instead of buying them at the store is coming faster than some think. How awesome would it be to print a part for a dishwasher or car at home and have it fixed in time it would take to just go get it, not to mention the savings.

("Playing God? The Facts of 3D Printing Human Organs – Whitman ECON 101: Principles of Microeconomics," n.d.)
This is a one of the points that some people struggle with in terms of print organs. One idea that was presented at a conference I attended was the fact that people with money would have extra kidneys, lungs and hearts waiting for them if theirs failed. Where as the average job could never afford this type of preventive care.

The students are gaining first hand experience using a printer that many of them would not of seen until college or possibly ever. I feel this gives them a leg up when they get to college. Many of the students in the program are looking to major in engineering in college. 
A quote from a student about 3D Printers. "It made projects more enjoyable and made you put move effort into them knowing you could get your hands on your final project. The robotics team also used it to make custom parts." (C. Jumps, personal communication, October, 2017).
There are couple cons for school districts which include cost and space to house them. Another problem can be that at the present time it takes time to print these project and if classes are large some students way not get to print.
