STEAM and 3D Printing

Gail Borden Library has a new gadget.  Welcome to our Mini Lulzbot 3D Printer.  Why do we need a 3D printer? Well...

It's easy to use!


Shapes

Shapes are the basic building blocks of Tinkercad. Any shape can add or remove material, and you can also import or create your own shapes.

Grouping

By grouping together a set of shapes you can create new models to work with. Build intricate shapes and create extremely detailed models.

Import 2D and 3D

Create vector shapes, then import and extrude them into 3D models. Additionally, you can import external 3D files which become editable Tinkercad shapes.

Our purpose of purchasing a 3D printer is to give kids early exposure to CAD software, learn  about 3D printing and the many fields it is used in today and allow them to express their creativity.

Empower yourself to learn coding, designing, gaming, and CAD

Keep checking our website HERE to see when and where the next 3D printing program will be.

Want to be ready for printing?  Register with TinkerCad and begin the adventure of designing.  It's free and easy to do.
