3D Printing Guidelines

3D Printing in the Technology and Innovation Center (TIC)

  • Library patrons must have a card in good standing and attend a 3D Printing session in order to make a 3D print request. Book an appointment.
  • 3D models will be saved in the proper format (STL, OBJ or MakerBot) inside the 3D Project folder on the designated TIC 3D Print computer station.
  • Printing time for single or multi-part projects will not exceed 5 hours.
  • Only one printing project per person per session.
  • The library's 3D printers may be used only for lawful purposes. The public will not be permitted to use the library's 3D printers to create material that is:
    • Prohibited by local, state or federal law.
    • Unsafe, harmful, dangerous or poses an immediate threat to the well-being of others. (Such use may violate the terms of use of the manufacturer)
    • Obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the library environment.
    • In violation of another's intellectual property rights. For example, the printers will not be used to reproduce material that is subject to copyright, patent or trademark protection.
    • The library reserves the right to refuse any 3D print request.
  • The library is not liable for any malfunctions or misprints.
  • Objects unclaimed after 7 days may be discarded or recycled.
