The following study intends to establish the key benefits of 3D prototype machines in technological education, along with a series of criteria for its incorporation at a primary level, determined by the analysis of technological concepts and relevant aspects of the educational area, in order to adequate its use into preexisting lesson plans. These criteria consider an appropriate level of cognitive development, and the influence of factors such as infrastructure, technical aspects, intended users, educational level, financing and cost.
