3D Printing at the University of Florida
Hannah F. NortonHealth Science Center Library
University of Florida
Development of Our Service• February 2013 – UF librarians and IT staff submit 3D printing
proposal for Technology Fee funding
• Summer 2013 – Technology Fee funding awarded
• October 2013 - March 2014 – Library staff experiment with printers, library IT creates interface for payment system
• April 2014 – Public 3D Printing goes live at Marston Science Library and Health Science Center Library
• March 2015 – Public 3D Printing goes live at Education Library
Current Equipment
MakerBot Replicator 2
• Extrudes layers of heated filament at ~210-230°C
• Uses Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), a corn-based plastic
• Build plate of 11.2" x 6" x 6.1" (285 x 153 x 155 mm)
• Layers are 0.1mm – 0.3mm http://3dprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/replicator-feature.jpg
Current Equipment
NextEngine 3D Scanner• Desktop, 360° laser scanning• File size ~20 MB• Steep learning curve for use

How the Library Service Works
Bring a .stl file to Marston Science Library, Health Science Center
Library, or Education Library
We will look at the file with
you and process it
Cost: $.06/gram
+ .02/minute. Prepay with a
credit or p-card
We will email you when finished to pick it up
• I acknowledge that my item(s) adhere to copyright restrictions and to UF's computer use policies.
• I understand that… The Libraries reserve the right to decline a print request that does
not comply. I will not be reimbursed for jobs that failed on my part, but I will
receive a voucher for jobs that fail on the library's part. The Libraries cannot guarantee a print time, however staff may be
able to provide an estimate based upon the print queue length. Priority is given to UF students, faculty, and staff, and also to class
assignments. Items printed that are not picked up with 14 days with become the
property of the Libraries. Items must be picked up by the individual who printed them.
User Agreement
• Ultrafine particle emissions• Polylactic Acid (PLA) vs.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
• Ventilation• Post-processing
