Did you know that the City Library has four different 3D Printers? Come and join our friendly volunteers in the Innovation lab to explore the evolution of this great technology, from the user friendly Me2 3D Printer to the state-of-the-art Da Vinci RGB colour 3D printer.
3D Printing Maker Session
Maker sessions are available for a hands on experience facilitated by an Innovation Lab volunteer, for yourself and up to four of your friends/colleagues/family.
The sessions are designed for those who are wanting an introduction to 3D printing and/or 3D scanning, or are already familiar with the 3D design, scanning and printing process and want to use the equipment with the help of a facilitator.
In this 1.5 hour session, you can:
- bring your own (small) .STL file to print
- design and print your own design
- create a work of art with a 3D pen, or
- bring a small object to scan and print.
Please note that restrictions apply, and it is recommended to discuss the specifications of the model you wish to print with a volunteer prior to booking a Maker session in order to avoid disappointment.
3D Printing Drop-in Session
Drop-in sessions are available to see the printers in action and to ask the volunteers any questions that you may have about the process. Discover the real-world applications for this wonderful technology and explore the creative aspects that will capture your imagination.
Please note that sessions are subject to volunteer availability and wait times for drop-in sessions may apply.
