SD&G – The latest technological advance in printing is being unveiled later this week at the Morrisburg branch of the SD&G County Library.
An Ultimaker 2 three-dimensional printer will be shown off Thursday (Jan. 7) at the MakerSpace Open House from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m.
The printer creates 3-D objects by using coils of plastic and melting them into layers to form objects.
According to the company’s website, the Ultimaker 2 unit starts at roughly $3,499.
“The addition of this 3-D printer to our library’s resources is another way that we are striving to foster innovation and discovery in SDG,” said Karen Franklin, Director of Library Services.
After the open house, the unit will be permanently set up at the Morrisburg branch at 34 Ottawa Street.
