Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Sitting in a room behind Capital High, the 3D printer was busy turning coils of ABS plastic — the same material used to make Lego bricks — into miniature busts of students.

Its nozzles squeezed melted plastic in layer after layer, building the busts from the base up. It was a process that took two or three hours and was complete with scaffolding for support while the bust dried.
