Prepare your file for 3D printing

There are several free CAD platforms where you can design your own 3D printing file. Many have built-in tutorials to get you started.

Examples of 3D editing platforms:

  • TinkerCAD
  • Blender
  • Fusion 360
  • Sketch Up
  • Free CAD
  • Onshape.

When you send us your file, we use slicing software to convert it into G-code to send to our 3D printers.

Library employees may be able to help you convert your idea into a usable filetype. If you need assistance, leave a note at the end of the online form.

After you finish

We’ll let you know when your item is ready to collect.

Payment on collection is required.
