The Library 3D printing service offers two ways for you to 3D print your designs and projects. You can:
Book a 3D Printer
Submit a File for 3D Printing
3D Printing Fee: $0.10 per gram of material (filament) used
We also provide learning opportunities such as appointments, a 3D Printing Tutorial and workshops (posted on the Library's Workshops and Events page). Check out the rest of our guide for Library 3D Printing Service Guidelines, Printer Specifications, Designs and Software, Help Videos, and Other 3D Printing Services.
Supervised, in person 3D printing takes place at the Library's Destress Desk near the entrance. Closely guided by a Library staff member, you will prepare your file for 3D printing, approve the material cost, and start the print. Bookings are available two days per week.
3D Printer Booking Calendar
When you submit a file for 3D printing, Library staff provide you with a cost and a timeline for when it will be printed. Once you have approved, staff contact you when the printing is complete and you pick it up from the Library Service Desk (North Oshawa Library or Downtown). Staff print submitted files on three designated days of the week.
If you have questions or would like to learn about 3D printing, you can book an online or in person appointment with Library staff.
