3D Printing Services

3D Printing: The process of creating a physical object from a design supplied as a digital file.

The Seminole County Public Library now provides an opportunity for our patrons to submit projects to be printed using our PRUSA 3D Printer. Digital files can be self-created or downloaded from a web-based, design-sharing site..

This program has been fully funded by the Friends of the Library - Seminole County since 2017. With special thanks to their generous contributions, four Prusa i3 MK3S+ printers and one Prusa i3 MK4 printer have been purchased, along with the filament, tools, and accessories that are used to bring designs to life.
