Overview
3D printing is a process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material. This involves heating bioplastic filament and then laying it down in thin layers until a new object emerges.
Squires Library offers 3D printing to students, faculty, and staff.
3D prints can take many hours to complete. Users should make an appointment for initial setup and check back frequently on print job.
