Thanks Barry, Drew,
Our design is usually based on the tooling and experience available. This year Chet (our lead mentor) bought a makerbot. That really got me excited and I went overboard about the 3d printing at a consumer level. I tried to make the point to our students that this is revolutionary technology and we have it sitting in our shop! The possibilities are endless and the efficiency advantages are incredible. I think the technology still needs a little more time to ripen, but I recommend all teams look into this if they haven't yet. A makerbot is only $2k.
