Join us for a program providing the basics to 3D printing ranging from which printers to get, filaments to use, what programs are needed to print models, and 3D printing concerns.

Ever wanted a small figurine of your favorite character or have you misplaced the back cover of your television remote and need a replacement? 3D printing is your solution! Whether it’s a small stool to sit on or a 4 foot long highly articulate dragon, your imagination is your limit when you have a 3D printer.

In this program, attendees will:

  • Learn what 3D printing is and the types of printers used.
  • Hear recommendations on what printers to buy based on features.
  • What materials and software is needed to print.
  • Safety concerns and recommendations.

Registration is required so the correct number of print samples are created before the program.

If you have questions, please contact the P. D. Brown Branch at 301-645-2864 or email pdbrownref@ccplonline.org.
