This article presents a critical review on digital fabrication for creating manipulatives in mathematics education research. It provides an overview of the research field from two perspectives: 1) explored digital fabrication technologies and reified mathematical concepts, and 2) applied pedagogical theories and research methodologies. Results show that 3D printing is the most common technology for creating manipulatives reifying mathematical concepts within geometry, algebra, and functions, as well as fractions. In the typical research project, a qualitative paradigm is chosen, and learning is investigated from a constructionistic perspective. The review reveals a small but trending research community and concludes with two specific opportunities for consolidating research on digital fabrication for mathematics education.
