3D Printing Organs could be a game changer!
Using software that is appropriate for grade level is very important. I use Tinkercad with middle school students and I've used Solidworks with high school students.
3D Printing is an additive process
We currently use 3D printing in my space, but we use PLA and I didn't realized all the other applications like printing ceramics and biotissue. It is a great way to learn to take a design from concept to reality and then test what works and what doesn't about the design.
