Purpose
John M. Pfau Library offers 3D printing to provide students access to an emerging technology that inspires creativity, innovation and academic excellence. The Innovation Lab aims to offer 3D printing using hardware and software at the forefront of technology.
Statement of Values
The John M. Pfau Library strongly believes in and is committed to the inherent right of free expression in all of its forms and manifestations. We affirm and endorse the principles and values set forth in the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights and Code of Ethics.
Availability
Current students at California State University – San Bernardino may submit requests for class or student projects. To ensure availability of printers, students are limited to one print job per person per week. If a print consists of multiple parts, we will only be able to print two or three objects (depending on size) per build plate and have it count as a single submission.
Please feel free to contact the Innovation Lab at innov.lab.education@gmail.com for recommendations on how to format and submit your prints.
