New 3D Printer Workshops to be Held Next Month

OSWEGO – Erin Lohnas will begin holding workshops on using 3D printers next month.

These workshops will include allowing patrons to see how the software Cura works and interacts with the printer (the library has a Lulzbot Mini 3D Printer), along with printing demonstrations and tutorials on how to use them safely.

Obtaining the 3D printer was thanks to a grant presented to the library by Senator Patty Ritchie
