3D Printing Terms

Printing Materials & Fees

 

PLA Plastic

The Brentwood Public Library’s 3D printers utilize a material known as PLA plastic for printing. PLA is the most popular material in use today for 3D printing. It is odorless, biodegradable and easy to form into intricate designs. Its main strengths are its ease of use and rigidity. Its drawbacks are a lack of tensile strength (it cannot support strong forces); and an intolerance for high heat (a hot car interior will melt PLA plastic).

 

Material Fees (Adult print requests only)

Printing fees will be based on the amount of printing material used, per gram. These fees may be subject to change based on materials available. Please visit http://brentwoodnylibrary.org/3Dprintingfees to view the latest 3d printing prices. Patrons will be responsible for the cost of the print regardless of the success or failure of the printer.
