3D PRINTING
At Pendergrass Library, UT affiliates may create or download a model and submit the request in STL format via our 3D printing page. Contact Richard Sexton at jsexton@utk.edu with questions, or schedule a virtual consultation using Microsoft Bookings. You may also supply a link to a downloadable .STL file from a repository such as Thingiverse.
At the Medbery Makerspace in Hodges Library, we take a DIY approach to 3D printing. UT affiliates may have hands-on access to small scale 3D printers after completing a brief certification course. Users learn to work the machines, load filament, and can print STL files. Each semester, individuals are allowed 250g of filament for free. After reaching the quota, users may bring their own, approved type of filament, for use with our printers.
Pendergrass Library offers a wider variety of printer models and capabilities while Hodges Library offers smaller consumer model printers.
