3D Printing Services: Overstreet Memorial Library has made this cutting-edge technology available to the public. You can print your own designs or something that you’ve found online. 3D printers use digital models to fabricate three-dimensional objects, successively printing or forming layers of material, one at a time, until an object is fully rendered. Anything that can be printed within five hours or less can be done at the library. The cost for printing is 20¢ per meter of PLA (USD only). If you’re interested in bringing a design to life with this amazing machine, call the library to make an appointment with our trained staff and visit www.35fss.com to fill out a registration form. Bring the form and the file you would like to print on a thumb drive to the Overstreet Memorial Library today!
