In April, the Rapides Parish Main Library unveiled their MakerSpace and 3D printing to the community. The Rapides Parish Library is the first in Rapides Parish to offer 3D printing to the public. The Library’s mission is to provide resources to increase education, information and recreation. The Library provides open access to information, technology, and knowledge. While 3D printing, and other MakerSpace technologies have the potential to transform the world, it can be tough for most people to gain access and use these technologies. The Library helps bridge the gap and encourages our community to come together and build things that can’t be found anywhere else.
On May 5th, the Rapides Parish Library began accepting customers’ files for 3D printing. To get started, all you need is an idea and a library card. So how does it work?
