3D Printing at the Library

Submit a 3D Printing Request

How to 3D Print at the Library

1. Create your own design, or choose from designs shared by others.

2. Fill in the request form and upload your file. 

3. We will send you a quote for the cost ($0.08 per gram of filament) and a estimate of when the print will be completed. 

* NOTE: As of September 2024 we have changed from charging by the hour, to charging by amount of filament (material) used. This is necessary as our different models of 3D printer print at very different speeds.

4. Approve the quoted cost.

5. Pick up your completed object. 

  • We will email you when the print is complete. 
  • If you are located at the Whitby Campus, we will send your print to the Whitby Campus Library for pickup.
