3D Printing

In accordance with the province-wide stay-at-home order, 3D Printing is not available at this time.

 

3D printers allow you create custom three-dimensional (3D) objects. From scale models, to simple accessories or complex parts - if you can imagine it, you can build it.

We are offering a limited 3D printing service during the current phase of our reopening plan.

Limited 3D printing is available at Central Library and the Community Libraries.

  • Customers can have their 3D models printed by staff.

  • Customers must provide staff with a prepared .gcode file that prints in under 3 hrs. 

  • Staff will send the .gcode file to the printer during library open hours. 

  • One print, per person, per day.
