The Brandon Library purchased a 3D printer. With this new technology that is rapidly growing, we knew that now is the time. No one knows what will come in the future, but to educate patrons on how 3D printing works, what it is, how to use it, what the potential is, and what to expect in the future, we're hosting workshops. After the workshop, a patron will know the basics on designing their own 3D object or how to search and download a ready-to-use model and how to use our printer.
