3D Printers are available by reservation at all makerspace locations. Walk-ins are permitted, but usage of the machine cannot be guaranteed. To reserve a 3D printer, please visit our equipment reservation page. 3D printers allow people to create physical objects from three-dimensional models. PPLD's printers use a process that heats and lays down thin layers of plastic on top of each other. PPLD provides a variety of filament types and colors for use with our 3D printers at a low cost. Patrons are not allowed to bring outside filament for use with PPLD machines.
A few things you can make:
- prototypes
- replacement parts
- jewelry and accessories
- game pieces and toys
These machines require badging before use. Badging can be done virtually. For more information and to get badged, visit our LibGuide on 3D printing.
