3D printing now available at North Oshawa Library

The Campus Libraries have recently acquired an Ultimaker 2 printer for the North Oshawa Library to assist students, faculty and staff with prototyping designs, creating educational aids, designing objects for thesis/capstone projects, and other academic activities.

3D printing was previously available as a pilot project during the 2014-2015 academic year at the Education Library.

Library staff will be available to provide one-on-one consultations with those who are new to 3D printing. They will:

• Provide guidance on software use and best practices.
• Offer tips for making the most of your print.
• Answer design or technical questions.

Please note: Library staff will not be able to assist users in the creation of their design.
