[OPLINTECH] 3D Printers, Policy and Procedures

[Brian Phillips via OPLINTECH]

Chris,

We have two 3D printers that we recently purchased. They are FlashForge Creator Pro model (http://www.flashforge-usa.com/creator-pro/). They seem to work pretty well, we haven’t had too many issues. But I can’t help you much with your question about policing the use of them. They are new and right now we have just been rotating them around between all the branches having staff print items and leave it out running in a public space where patron can watch it and kind of see how it works. We are planning on doing more with them in the future, but I am not sure the exact plan.

Thanks,

Brian Phillips

I looked through the Oplin lists and haven't found anything recent about 3D printers. If your organization is using one, which printer(s) do you recommend?  How do you police the use of the printer?  Who is allowed to use it?
