FUSION3 3D PRINTERS:
THE BEST LIBRARY 3D PRINTERS

Most librarians and library technicians would not have expected 5 years ago that they would be running a 3D printing service bureau and a 3D printer library. However, 3D printing has become a key resource and service for patrons of public and university libraries. Just as you have to rely on laser printers and copiers, your 3D printer has to be able to deliver printed parts for students & patrons on schedule and within budget. Previously, your choice for 3D printing hardware was limited to either:

Expensive industrial 3D printers which few organizations could afford
Inexpensive consumer printers which lacked the speed, printable area of commercial 3D printers and are prone to breaking down with little assistance to get back up and running.

You now have another choice for your 3D printer library.

Safe For Use In Libraries & Public Spaces

Fully enclosed and available with optional air filtration, the Fusion3 EDGE 3D printer is safe for use in public spaces and as a library 3D printer.

The enclosure protects again accidental contact with hot surfaces and is equipped with a door interlock, which will pause the printer if the door is opened during operation.

Combined with the air filter, smells and harmful emissions are contained ensuring comfort and safety for users of your library 3D printer.

Commercial Quality, Affordable Price

EDGE is the optimal high performance library 3D printer for libraries and institutions that lack the budget for an expensive industrial 3D printer.

Not only is the hardware itself inexpensive in relation to others in its class, since Fusion3 does not sell proprietary 3D filament, your cost for material is much lower as you can choose to purchase filament from a wide variety of suppliers.

Qualified educational institutions receive a 5% discount on your printer purchase and volume discounts are available for all customers (orders 4 or more in a single order).

TRUSTED BY LEADING INSTITUTIONS

“For a service that we are making available to all of our students and campus community, uptime is really important, and we knew Fusion3’s support and service was crucial to that.”

Adam Rodgers
Emerging Technology Services Librarian
NC State University

“We purchased the Fusion3 3D printers based upon the recommendation from other academic libraries and because their specifications met our needs. We liked the build quality of their printers and have been very pleased with the level of support provided.”

Sara Gonzalez
Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Visualization Librarian
University of Florida

“Based on the speed, build volume and print quality, one Fusion3 3D printer could easily do the job of three or four standard desktop printers.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
LIBRARY 3D PRINTERS

Why should libraries use 3D printers?

3D printer libraries are a great way to get patrons introduced to additive manufacturing at the beginner level. Libraries strive to provide community access to new technologies, and 3D printing is especially relevant due to its application for STEM education and other community benefits.

How do I get started using a 3D printer in a library?

Most libraries will require you to have an up-to-date library card and a design file in a compatible format, typically a .stl file. It is a good idea to check with your local library about what requirements they have before finalizing your design.
