3D Printing Demonstrations
|
|
|
| The library is very excited to announce that we have a 3D printer. We will be organizing demonstrations of our Makerbot Replicator 2 throughout Cumberland County this summer. If you’re interested in printing something or if your organization is interested in having a demonstration contact the Cumberland Public Libraries Headquarters at 667-2135.
In June we will be demonstrating the 3D Printer at the Four Fathers Library in Amherst:
June 4th - 2:30-4:30pm
June 26th - 1:00-3:00pm
The Makerbot Replicator 2 printer prints 3D models that have been either downloaded from the Internet or created using free software such as Google Sketchup. The objects are printed in PLA, a strong natural substance made from plants.

LEGO Donations Requested
|
If you've got a stash of well-loved LEGO®
gathering cobwebs, consider giving your
collection a new home at Cumberland Public Libraries. The library would like to start offering LEGO® programs using a collection that would rotate between the 7 libraries.
If you have LEGO® you'd like to give,
donations can be dropped off at any library branch.
