3D Printing

3D printing is a service provided to the Randolph-Macon community by the Library. The patron must schedule a training session before requesting 3D printing.  Print request must be placed one week in advance for desired printout pickup date.

Use your R-MC email and password to get to and complete the Online Form.  (If there is a problem accessing the form, go to Google.com, select "Sign in" and use your R-MC email & password to sign in; then paste the URL to go to - https://goo.gl/forms/xu3MJqNidFGSkL9Z2 ).

Currently there is no fee for 3D printing. R-MC class and other academic projects take priority. Non-academic projects are limited to a maximum of 5 prints per person per semester, and each print must not exceed 5 hours. Print time and print results are not guaranteed for non-academic projects.
