Join us at the Ukiah Branch Library for a special workshop series, 3D Printing & Design. In the first workshop, library staff will introduce participants to the basics of 3D printing, including an up-close look at one of our two MakerBot Sketch 3D printers. Participants will also learn the basics of 3D design by completing online tutorials at tinkercad.com. After the workshop, you will be able to design your own item and have it printed at the library! Printing times may vary.
