Do Teachers Even Want 3D Printers?

[MechaBits]

Less form filling more Producing! I went to a conference the other month called "the Future of Skills", the speakers managed to talk all day without mentioning which skills are needed for the future(besides Maths & English) or without mentioning a single piece of software, they where more pre-occupied with their shrinking portion of the budget pie, why is it that the people who bang on about productivity don't seem to produce anything?

Opps forgot to add input about the topic at hand, do they want it.

Obviously some will many might not, perhaps it should be mandatory in schools that dont have lathes and milling machines, just so they can at least teach something present relevant to today instead of stuff from text books that are out of date.
