3D printing services are available to the public at City of Darwin Libraries.
3D printing is a way of creating three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. This is done by printing layer on layer of plastic, building up a shape which can be very detailed.
How can I print something?
To print in 3D, you first need a digital 3D model. There are numerous 3D print files available online that you can use for free. Visit Thingiverse and explore the wide range of 3D printable things.
If you want to learn how to create your own models, TinkerCAD is a free web-based modelling program with simple tutorials to get you started.
Find out more about using TinkerCAD.
