3D Printing at Morris Library Workshop
Have you seen 3D printing mentioned in the news or on some of your favorite TV shows? Do you have a vague idea of what 3D printing is, but want to learn more. This workshop will teach you the basics of 3D printing: what a 3D printer is, how it works, and the types of objects you can print. This is an introductory workshop that won't go into much about 3D modeling, but will provide a general overview of 3D printing technology. You will get to see the 3D printer in action and learn about Morris Library's 3D printing program and how you can make use of the library's 3D printer. Each session covers the same information.
