3D Printing Services

3D Printing is the process of converting a 3D model into a solid, three-dimensional object. The type of 3D printing used in the LWLC is the extrusion of molten plastic through the print head and deposited, layer on layer, to create the object.

Creating a 3D print

The Levi Watkins Learning Center (LWLC) is pleased to offer 3D printing services to the University community for a fee.

Patrons may submit their 3D print jobs (STL) files using the 3D Print Request Form.

Library staff will print the design and notify you when to pick up your completed job at the circulation desk.

Need help or not sure what to print? Check out Thingiverse, Make Magazine, or Cults 3D for project ideas.
