It is also a matter of efficiency. Students need  to be able to nuild their weapon as efficiently as possible to maximize the time they have to practice with and modify it. Speaking from experience, needing to learn to use multiple different machines is not easy, so it makes sense for them to be merged into a single omni-functional foundry system, meaning you can print the parts, put together, and if it doesn't work quite right easily print out replacements.

I like the idea of a workshop myself, but the fact of the matter is it just isn't practical.
