The document summarizes the Illinois MakerLab at the University of Illinois and experiential learning through hands-on creation with 3D printing. The MakerLab provides students and faculty access to 10 3D printers and software, along with tours, open printing sessions and a "Making Things" course. Over 600 visitors have used the MakerLab to design and print prototypes. The summary discusses challenges of limited exposure to 3D printing in higher education and opportunities it provides for hands-on learning, engagement and partnerships with business.

I almost felt like I was part of making history.”—Ellen “This exercise was my favorite because we were actually able to make a product that we could touch and hold.”— Michelle “It allows consumers to be creators rather than buyers. I think this is one of the coolest aspects of 3D printing because we no longer have to rely on corporations for all of our needs.”—Mike “There was a feeling of accomplishment and pride that came with making the cookie cutter.”—Rachel
