The library is now offering guests an opportunity to create objects with its 3D printer. For 5 cents per gram of weight of the object, guests to the library can utilize the state-of-the-art printer, which can make models up to nine inches square. Guests will have to bring a completed stereolithography (.stl) file of their designed project to use the printer.  “They will have to use software like Tinkercad to make their design,” said Rebecca LaCroix, VC Library assistant.  “We will set up the printer, check for any potential issues with printing, and give a time estimate on when the object will be complete and the cost.” The Victoria College Library is located on VC’s Main Campus at 2200 E. Red River Street in Victoria. Hours of operation are Monday-Thursday, 7:45 a.m.-5 p.m. (361) 485-6851.
