Octopus Printed with New 3-D Printer
Check out the 3-D printing capability and other new technologies in the Technology Commons on the ground floor of the library. Known as “3DU: Discover, Design, Develop,” the new digital “makerspace” is equipped for the printing process to make three-dimensional objects from a digital file. 3DU also offers software for creating and editing audio and video files and scanning stations for transferring physical content to digital formats. 3DU was funded in part by the State Library of North Carolina Literacy and Lifelong Learning Grant made available from the Library Services Technology Act and administered through the Institution of Museum and Library Services and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources.
