Makerspace

3D creation allows users to create a physical object from a digital model. The library's Makerspace provides the tools necessary to complete your project, including the software to design the project, resources to finding an already designed open access file, a scanner to reproduce a physical item, and 3D printers to print your designs.

• 3D Printing: Ultimaker 2+ 3D Printers, Cura 3D Printer Software
• 3D Carving: Carvey 3D Carving Machine, Easel design and machine control software

First time visitors to the library's makerspace will be asked to take a short orientation online and each subsequent visit will be asked to check in to the 3D Production workbench.

Files for 3D printing must be submitted online using our 3D printing request form. Files should be formatted as .STLs. Please plan ahead as prints can take anywhere from a few hours to multiple days, and a printing queue may form. 3D prints are charged a base printing fee of $4 plus $0.05 per gram of material.

Online Resources:

• Thingiverse is an online repository of user-created digital design files.
• Inventables hosts projects for the Carvey, with step-by-step instructions and templates.
