3D Printer
What Does a 3D Printer Do?
A 3D printer can print small precise plastic creations in specific shapes and sizes. Prints can be created from online templates (there are many) or your own design. For example, you can 3D print a mount for an odd sized device, a replacement piece for your favorite board game, a trinket for your shelf, or just a little piece of something about yay-big for your craft project. If you are interested in getting started with 3D printing, or just want to learn more about it, contact the library.
