THE BEST LIBRARY 3D PRINTERS
Most librarians and library technicians would not have expected 5 years ago that they would be running a 3D printing service bureau and a 3D printer library. However, 3D printing has become a key resource and service for patrons of public and university libraries. Just as you have to rely on laser printers and copiers, your 3D printer has to be able to deliver printed parts for students & patrons on schedule and within budget. Previously, your choice for 3D printing hardware was limited to either:
- Expensive industrial 3D printers which few organizations could afford
- Inexpensive consumer printers which lacked the speed, printable area of commercial 3D printers and are prone to breaking down with little assistance to get back up and running.
You now have another choice for your 3D printer library.

“We purchased the Fusion3 3D printers based upon the recommendation from other academic libraries and because their specifications met our needs. We liked the build quality of their printers and have been very pleased with the level of support provided.”

“Based on the speed, build volume and print quality, one Fusion3 3D printer could easily do the job of three or four standard desktop printers.”
