What is 3D Printing?

The 3D printer uses a melted plastic filament to create objects which have been designed on a computer. 

Our printer works with PLA (PolyLactic Acid) material. Following the directions of a particular design, known as G-code, the PLA passes through a nozzle. The code directs the printer to form the object, layer upon layer. 

In a matter of seconds, the plastic cools off. Then, your object is ready to go!

How Do I Print?

Those wishing to use 3D printing service are expected to take an orientation prior to printing. 

Schedule a time with staff to begin printing an object yourself by stopping into the library or calling 830-334-2496.
