[Bagley, Michelle]

Mindy,

Clark has 3D printers available in the CADD department. None in the library.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [LIBRARYDIR] 3-D printers

Hi all,

I am sorry if the question of 3D printers has been raised before:


1.       Do any of you have 3D printers in your libraries?

2.       How did you pay for them?

3.       Who maintains them?

4.       Who pays for the filament?

5.       Who provides instruction or guidance to users?

6.       How do you manage noise?

7.       Do you have any advice?

I have a student with a passion and I want to support him.  We are just trying to figure out how to manage it within a limited budget, staffing, and a building that is inadequate for the services we want to offer.

Thank you!
Mindy
