DESCRIPTION
I designed this PowerPoint for a library staff workshop. It defines the history and context of MakerSpaces as a whole, in addition to the technical aspects of 3D Printing and its applications.TRANSCRIPT

Why Libraries?
Libraries have always been providers of free access and space
Great opportunity to re-ignite interest in libraries
Library emphasis on S.T.E.M.

3D Printing - History
Additive Manufacturing
Invented in 1984 by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems
Stereolithography
STL file format – A type of CAD file
Available for commercial use in the 2010s.

How does 3D printing work?
Build a 3D model using 3D modeling software such as SketchUp, Blender, or TinkerCAD OR download free model from Thingiverse.
Convert file to STL and open in MakerWare.
MakerWare “slices” file into thin, horizontal layers, preparing it for printing.
The file is sent to the machine – via USB or SD card – similar to how a design plan is sent to a computerized embroidery machine.
Plastic is loaded and dispensed on spools, and navigated through a guide tube – similar to a sewing machine.
Printer moves its extruder mechanism across the build plate, pushing out molten plastic – like a hot glue gun.
