Schaeffer was able to capture the scale, color, and most details of the 3-inch-tall Durer. To test out the scanning technology, I asked MLK library associate Adam Schaeffer to do a 360-degree scan of ARCHITECT’s resident 15th-century German artist, a Playmobile figurine of Albrecht Durer.

“With 3D scanning, you can create your own file in a different way,” Kerelchuk says.

The library is gradually rolling out its NextEngine 3D Scanner to the public via free classes that teach the accompanying NextEngine ScanStudio HD software while the staff works out some of the scanner’s bugs. The object is printed and a staff member notifies the patron that it is ready for pickup.

The library staff determines the queues for their two printers based on the size of the files, their colors (six are offered, plus the plastic printing material’s natural white hue), and the number of colors required for each. Patrons submit a stereolithography, or STL, file through the library’s online form and it is added to the queue. Printing at the MLK library requires a library card and payment of a nominal fee based on the finished piece’s cost per gram-in our case, that was $1.15 for 3 grams including a $1 base charge. The printing medium for both printers is a non-toxic, bio-degradable, and bio-based polylactic acid, which Kerelchuk says is less expensive and more environmentally friendly than some of the newer materials, including nylon, wood-fiber filaments, and liquid metal. The Replicator 2X is suitable for smaller objects with intricate detail, but it can only print one color per object. The CubeX Trio can print a single object with up to three colors and is ideal for larger pieces-up to 12-inches cubed-with limited detail. The MLK library currently has two extrusion printers: a 3D Systems CubeX Trio and a Makerbot Replicator 2X. Watch the piece come to life below-for your convenience, we condensed the three-plus hours of printing into one minute. And we thought it would look good on camera. Its flat bottom and minimal spans meant we didn’t have to design in supports (to avoid printing a pile of collapsed plastic). It printed in one piece, important because the library’s online form doesn’t allow for uploading multi-component models. It will serve a practical purpose holding writing utensils on this reporter’s desk.

With many models available online to download for free, we decided to print this pencil holder (shown) from Thingiverse for a few reasons.

Web-based platforms such as SketchUp offer free modeling software streamlined for use by beginners while Autodesk’s suite of free mobile apps, including its 123D series Catch, Creature, Design, and Make platforms, let advanced users model objects away from their desktop computers. The printing and scanning services have attracted patrons whose design and modeling skills range from simply downloading a ready-to-print file from one of the numerous online resources that trade in them, such as Thingiverse, CGTrader, and Shapeways, to designing their pieces using CAD software. “Libraries are becoming one of the first people are actually seeing this in the public forum,” Kerelchuk says.
The library also is in the process of rolling out a 3D scanner, which will allow members of the public to digitally copy-and even print-just about anything. Nearly 50 printing requests are submitted each week, says Nicholas Kerelchuk, who manages the public library’s digital space-meaning the waiting period for one request can be as long as four weeks.

Memorial Library’s queue is full of bits and trinkets waiting to be printed in one of its two 3D printers. libraries are giving professionals and hobbyists alike the chance to try out the emerging DIY product-design platform without the overhead equipment costs.Ī few blocks from the Washington, D.C., offices of our parent company, Hanley Wood, the Martin Luther King Jr. Now, the public sector is stepping up and offering use of additive-manufacturing tools at comparatively affordable rates. Until recently, access to 3D printers and scanners has primarily been limited to those working in behemoth design firms and research institutions. three hours to print our 4-inch-tall, hollow pen and pencil holder.
