Interested in 3D printing or design? Come check out our Makerspace's 3D printer! We will be using the free and easy-to-use TinkerCAD to create your custom keychains. Our staff will guide you through the process of using TinkerCAD, where you will learn how to add text, shapes, and other details to the design before it is printed out.
Once your design is complete, you have the opportunity to watch as the 3D printer begins to create your truly unique and personalized keychain!
If you did not finish your design by the end of the program, you can email the design to staff and they will print it out for you with no charge. If your print has not finished by the time the program or library day has ended, staff will finish the print with no charge the following day and notify you via email or phone that your keychain is ready!
Want to get a jump start on the tutorials so you can start designing or printing when you arrive? Visit https://www.tinkercad.com/join to sign up for free!
