Types of Printing MaterialsPlastics, Composites, Metals, Wood
![Page 8: 3D Printing and Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/589e10961a28ab67278b6a4d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PLA - Polylactic Acid
Low melting point
Rigid, brittle
Not best for interlocking or pin-connected pieces
Low melting point
Created from plant products like corn, potatoes, or sugar-beets
Earth-friendly - can be composted at commercial compost facilities
Does not have the classic “plastic” smell
Pros Cons
![Page 9: 3D Printing and Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/589e10961a28ab67278b6a4d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ABS - Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
Incredibly strong
Mildly flexible - will bend under pressure
Durable
High temperature resistance
Parts can be fused together with acetone
Strong ‘melting plastic’ smell
Must be printed on a heated bed to avoid shrinking/lifting
Pros Cons
![Page 10: 3D Printing and Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/589e10961a28ab67278b6a4d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Laywood - Recycled Wood Filament
Combined with polymer binders to create ‘meltable’ wood
Smells like wood
Feel like wood
Doesn’t shrink, warp, or require a heated bed
Expensive (4x the price of PLA/ABS filaments)
Needs special tool head
Pros Cons
![Page 11: 3D Printing and Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070600/589e10961a28ab67278b6a4d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stainless Steel PLA (great for jewelry, figurines, props)
Conductive PLA (used for low-voltage applications like switches and internal wiring)
Magnetic Iron PLA (sculptures, busts, architectural details)
3DCeram (ceramic printing)
Food! (notably, chocolate)
Other filament options...

Getting Started with Software
3D printing is easy,but 3D modeling is hard.

Public Library Use Cases
Richmond Public Library- Columbia, South Carolina
2 MakerBot Replicators located in the library’s “maker space” area
Popular with teen patrons
Host programs and 3D design workshops that teach patrons to use 3D design software like Tinkercad.
Challenges mainly reside with the technology (finicky printer, maintenance, time consuming, printing errors)
Detroit Public Library - Detroit, Michigan
“…[Libraries have a responsibility to introduce new technologies to patrons]…”
Workshops and programs on 3D printing and design
Primarily targets teen population
Challenges include finding a designated area for a “maker space” within the library, finding those knowledgeable enough to teach the design software, funding
