Last year, students, faculty and staff printed more than 400 items through the Campus Libraries’ 3D printing service: everything from prototypes and parts to anatomical models, business logos, game models, equipment for simulations, and artisan tools.

To submit files for printing:

Visit the Campus Libraries’ 3D printing page to submit your files through the request form and learn more about the service. Prices depend on the time required to print.
