Recently the advent of 3D printer called the third industrial revolution makes it possible for users to construct the manipulative of 3D solid figures in the math classroom. This study wants to discuss a new issue that the users can construct their own manipulative using the 3D printer which causes users a low cost and an easy way to use based on spatial visualization and using the construction program of 3D solid figures called Stella which was made by Robert Webb of Australia. Through introducing how to construct the figures using the combination of these two technology tools, teachers in math classroom could provide more users oriented and interesting ways of building own solids so that students can have time to study in more concrete ways to prove what they understand. In the future, more research could be performed to investigate how these technologies influence to students’ learning and teachers’ instructional materials for helping students.
