3D Printing at the Library

The Library provides access to 3D printing services to foster learning, creativity, and hands-on exploration of new and emerging technologies.

Create Your Design

Bring your ideas to life with 3D printing! Create your own model using CAD or 3D modeling software, or find a finished design online. Files must be ready to print and saved as .STL, .3MF, or .OBJ.

Library members are responsible for designing or sourcing a finished model for use on the 3D printer.

Library staff are not responsible for designing, producing, completing, or repairing 3D models.

Submit Your Request

Ready to print? Complete the 3D Print Request Form and tell us about your design. You may submit one request per week (Monday–Sunday) for one print using up to 75 grams of PLA filament.

Choose a preferred and alternate filament color when submitting your request. We’ll do our best to accommodate your selection, but colors are subject to availability. Standard requests are printed in a single color; multicolor projects may require a consultation with Makerspace staff.

Staff will review your design to make sure it can be successfully processed and meets Library and Makerspace guidelines. If your project is over the 75-gram limit, we may contact you about possible adjustments such as resizing the model or changing print settings.

Most requests are completed within approximately 2–3 weeks.

Pick Up Your Print

We’ll email you when your project is finished and ready for pickup. Completed prints must be picked up within 14 days of notification.

Because every 3D model prints differently, results can vary. The Library does not guarantee material availability, project quality, satisfaction, or successful project completion.

The Library is not responsible for the subsequent safety of any item made with the 3D printer.
