[Systems Engineering Teachers' Mailing List] 3D Printer experiences

[Mark Tory]

Hi Systems Teachers,

I am seeking your thoughts and experiences on 3d printers.

We are considering purchasing a 3D printer for use in Systems
Engineering to model small plastic pieces such as gears and links. Are
any schools using a 3d printer? Can anyone recommend an easy to use and
reasonably priced machine. 

Many thanks,
