The procedures for printing from the Library’s 3D printers are as follows:

 

Design creation

 

The 3D printer can be used with basic knowledge of Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD). Creating a new design requires an advanced knowledge of 3D modeling software products. 

 

Video tutorials that accompany CAD programs can be of assistance.

 

Any 3D drafting software may be used to create a design as long as the file can be saved in .stl, .obj, or .thing file format.
