3D Printing

Where are the 3D printers located?

They are in the Gould Memorial Library in the Makerspace Room on the Brunswick campus. 

Who can use this service?

The 3D printers may be used by Coastal Georgia students, faculty, and staff who have completed the online tutorial, 3D Printing at Coastal Georgia Libraries.

How does 3D Printing fit in an Academic Library?

3D printers advance the library's mission by:

  • Supporting students to prepare them for meaningful careers, advanced study, lifelong learning, and participation in a global and technological society
  • Providing access to resources to serve educational needs
  • Encouraging the use of current technologies and tools to enhance research and experiential learning, collaborative strategies, and expanding information networks
  • Providing an essential facility where emerging and established scholars access information and gather in an atmosphere conducive to learning and other creative endeavors
