How fabulous would it be to work in such a forward thinking library as the Townsville Public Library, who have installed a 3D printer and scanner for the public to use?
ABC North Queensland's website reported on this innovative addition to the services offered at the library. This library believes that they need to offer and make accessible the latest technology for their community.
The printers work by building up a plastic or metal substance layer by layer. You can scan in a real object to be printed or it can be printed from your original digital files. Once exclusively expensive, these days a printer can be purchased for well under $1000.
