On September 29th, members of Spring Creek Teen Central visited the New York Public Library on Flatlands Avenue to learn about 3D Printing. The teens were able to design a small digital model on the library’s computer, and then the information was sent to their on-site 3D printer, where it creates the item using plastic (other printers can also use metal, wood, and resin-based material).
One member decided to create a small Nike logo onto a square using the library’s software, and within minutes he was able to physically hold a 3D orange plastic model of his design. The participants were surprised and amazed at the sheer advance technology available at their local library.
