How does 3D printing at Evergreen Park Public Library work? Once you have attended a workshop or orientation, you will have the basic knowledge you need to start designing. - You can either create your own designs using Tinkercad, or download .STL files at Thingiverse.com or a multitude of other open source websites (but that one is our favorite!). Workshops and Orientations will teach basic skills necessary to start designing.
- Send your .STL file to adultservices@evergreenparklibrary.org. Be sure to include the dimensions and preferred color.
- We will respond with the expected cost (10 cents per gram), any necessary adjustments to the design, and an expected print time. Please allow up to 2 weeks.
- Once your print is complete we will notify you and you can pay for and pick it up at the Circulation desk.

Fabricated : the new world of 3D printing
by Hod Lipson
This book tells the story of 3D printers, humble manufacturing machines that are bursting out of the factory and into schools, kitchens, hospitals, even onto the fashion catwalk. The book describes the emerging world of printable products, where people design and 3D print their own creations as easily as they edit an online document. A 3D printer transforms digital information into a physical object by carrying out instructions from an electronic design file, or "blueprint."
