What is 3D printing? |
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a computer file layer by layer. 3D printing allows you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods. |
How does 3D printing work? |
A 3D model is created by the use of computer software or by a 3D scanner. A file with this 3D design model is then loaded into the 3D printer to guide the printer during the printing process. |
About our 3D printer |
The Bambu Labs P1S and X1C 3D printers uses a corn-based fully biodegradable filament and is made from renewable natural resources. These printers have easy to use control panels with network job sending, and filtration, making it ideal for the Library environment. |
